Summary
Homocysteine, a well-known inducer of vascular endothelial cell damage has been associated
with extracellular matrix changes. Many studies demonstrated that high levels of this
aminoacid in diabetic patients increases significantly the risk of the development of this
pathology. This study has been undertaken to investigate the role of homocysteine and its
cofactors (folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12) during the progression of the diabetic
retinopathy.
