Specifications
Target Information
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the body during the normal breakdown of proteins. Elevated levels of homocysteine, a condition known as hyperhomocysteinemia, can indicate specific health issues. High homocysteine levels are often associated with deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, or folate. Less commonly, hyperhomocysteinemia can occur due to a genetic disease called homocystinuria, where the body cannot properly process amino acid building blocks. It has been established in horses that homocysteine has an atherogenic effect, plays a role in early embryo mortality and is responsible for the induction of oxidative stress.
