Homocysteine-Lowering by B Vitamins Slows the Rate of Accelerated Brain Atrophy in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2010, positive): “The tissue and plasma concentrations of homocysteine are largely determined by the body’s status of certain B vitamins (folate, B6 and B12), which are cofactors or substrates for enzymes involved in homocysteine metabolism [22].”
Effect of 3-year folic acid supplementation on cognitive function in older adults in the FACIT trial: a randomised, double blind, controlled trial.

Vitamin B12 and folate concentrations during pregnancy and insulin resistance in the offspring: the Pune Maternal Nutrition Study (2007, background): “In the absence of accepted guidelines for interpreting vitamin B12 status in pregnancy [49], we cannot define the true extent of vitamin B12 deficiency, but high levels of MMA and tHcy suggested its presence in a majority of the women in our study [17].”
The role of oxidative stress in diabetic complications (2007, background): “There is also some evidence that homocysteine may contribute to cardiovascular disease (264).”
