An Overview on Homocysteine And Bone Diseases

Abstract

This article contains brief information about Homocysteine and factors that are responsible for bone diseases and fractures due to high and low levels of Homocysteine in our body. Homocysteine is a common amino acid in our blood. A raised homocysteine level might be a hazardous factor for building up specific infections and conditions. Homocysteine isn't acquired from the diet. Instead, it is biosynthesized from methionine by means of a multi-step process. High levels of Homocysteine are related to early development of many diseases like Heart diseases and Fractures. Any changes in homocysteine level can cause many diseases like cardiovascular diseases, complication in pregnancy or it can also be responsible for fractures. Symptoms of high level of homocysteine are Pale skin, fractures, and weakness. An increased homocysteine level appears to be a strong and independent risk factor for osteoporotic fractures in older men and women. There might be a connection between raised homocysteine levels and broken bones, particularly in the older. Homocysteine levels are regularly higher in men than ladies. People with abnormal levels of homocysteine show reduced Bone mineral thickness modification in micro architecture and extended bone delicacy, it has been estimated that the assimilation of homocysteine is related with osteoporosis. Homocysteine levels may be identified with age-related osteoporotic cracks. Homocysteine works as obsessive biomarkers for bone diseases.
