Homocysteine (Hcy) is a biomarker for significant disorders including Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease. The monitoring of Hcy levels in plasma is of current concern. We describe highly selective colorimetric methods for the direct detection of Hcy. Inexpensive, commercially available materials are employed. The results show potential application for the detection of Hcy in human blood plasma.
同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)是包括阿尔茨海默病和心血管疾病在内的重大疾病的生物标志物。血浆中Hcy水平的监测是当前关注的问题。我们描述了用于直接检测Hcy的高选择性比色法。使用了价格低廉的市售材料。结果显示了该方法在检测人体血浆中Hcy方面的潜在应用。
