Vitamin nutrition status and homocysteine: an atherogenic risk factor

JB Ubbink - Nutrition reviews, 1994 - academic.oup.com
In an epidemiologic survey, a marginal status of folic acid, vitamin B 12 , and vitamin B 6 was
shown to be associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. In a case-control study, a low plasma …

The role of vitamins in the pathogenesis and treatment of hyperhomocyst (e) inaemia

JB Ubbink - Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
The relation between vitamin nutritional status and circulating plasma homocyst(e)ine
concentrations is reviewed. Several studies have shown that plasma concentrations of folate, …

Vitamin B-12, vitamin B-6, and folate nutritional status in men with hyperhomocysteinemia

JB Ubbink, WJ Vermaak, A van der Merwe… - The American journal of …, 1993 - Elsevier
We measured the vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, and folic acid nutritional status in a group of
apparently healthy men (n = 44) with moderate hyperhomocysteinemia (plasma homocysteine …

Rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for total homocysteine levels in human serum

JB Ubbink, WJH Vermaak, S Bissbort - Journal of Chromatography B …, 1991 - Elsevier
A rapid, isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is described for
the determination of total homocysteine levels in human serum. Prior to reversed-phase …

Vitamin requirements for the treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia in humans

JB Ubbink, WJH Vermaak, A van der Merwe… - The Journal of …, 1994 - Elsevier
We have previously shown that a modest vitamin supplement containing folic acid, vitamin B-12
and vitamin B-6 is effective in reducing elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations. …

The effect of a subnormal vitamin B-6 status on homocysteine metabolism.

JB Ubbink, A van der Merwe, R Delport… - The Journal of …, 1996 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Homocysteine, an atherogenic amino acid, is either remethylated to methionine or metabolized

Stability of pyridoxal-5-phosphate semicarbazone: applications in plasma vitamin B6 analysis and population surveys of vitamin B6 nutritional status

JB Ubbink, WJ Serfontein, LS De Villiers - Journal of Chromatography B …, 1985 - Elsevier
The determination of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxal (PL) in plasma requires the
availability of dark room facilities, due to the photosensitivity of these vitamin B 6 vitamers. …

The effect of blood sample aging and food consumption on plasma total homocysteine levels

JB Ubbink, WJH Vermaak, A van Der Merwe… - Clinica chimica acta, 1992 - Elsevier
The stability of homocysteine in whole blood and plasma was investigated. Total homocysteine

Measurement of the ratio between the reduced and oxidized forms of coenzyme Q10 in human plasma as a possible marker of oxidative stress.

J Lagendijk, JB Ubbink, WJ Vermaak - Journal of lipid research, 1996 - Elsevier
It has been postulated that lipid peroxidation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of
