Description

Vegetarians are at risk of developing hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). The predominant or selective consumption of proteins of plant origin shifts homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism to the remethylation pathway (1), which requires vitamin [B.sub.12] as a cofactor and methyltetrahydrofolate as a substrate. In the vegetarian diet, the intake of folic acid exceeds the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), whereas intake of vitamin [B.sub.12] is inadequate or even absent (2).
