HHcy can result from low status of one-carbon metabolism (OCM) nutrients (e.g., folate, choline, betaine, vitamin B6, B12), which work together to degrade homocysteine by methylation
However, tissue-bound peptide and its downstream gene expression effects (elevated collagen I mRNA, increased TGF- signaling) persist for 2472 hours and are not affected by hydration or clearance interventions
