Özet

Objective: Both hyperhomocysteinemia and increased inflammatory activity Eire shown to be associated with atherosclerosis. The relation of inflammatory activity to homocysteine (Hey) levels is not well established. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the relation of plasma Hey levels to atherosclerotic vascular disease and inflammatory activity in type 2 diabetic patients.
