No effect of folic acid on markers of endothelial dysfunction or inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild hyperhomocysteinaemia.

Abstract

The data indicate that, in this group of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild hyperhomocysteinaemia, lowering homocysteine with folic acid for six months does not improve biochemical markers of endothelial dysfunction or low-grade inflammation.
