| Sumario: | Introduction: Homocysteine is an endogenous sulfur amino acid, formed as a result of biochemical changes in methionine. The normal concentration of homocysteine in healthy people is within the range of 5 - 15 µmol / l, and values above 15 µmol / l are referred to as hyperhomocysteinemia. Moreover, it has been shown that the level of homocysteine may be associated with the occurrence of mental disorders. The aim of this article was to search for a relationship between the level of this amino acid and the incidence and prognosis of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia or Alzheimer’s disease. |
