摘要
本研究旨在验证大剂量叶酸(10mg/d)对急性心肌梗死(AMI)后行冠状动脉介入的患者内皮功能的影响,并确定其与同型半胱氨酸水平的关系。测定40例AMI后患者[16例患者同型半胱氨酸水平正常,24例患者同型半胱氨酸水平升高(〉11μmol/L)]肱动脉的血流介导舒张功能(FMD)。在此双盲、交叉对照临床试验中,受试者被随机分配首先接受叶酸(10mg/d,A组)或安慰剂(B组)服用6周,经2周的洗脱期后交叉。评估基线、6周和14周时的血浆叶酸盐、总同型半胱氨酸及其亚型(氧化型、还原型和蛋白结合型)的水平、FMD和硝酸甘油介导的血管舒张。在A组中,叶酸使FMD从3.98%±0.35%增至6.44%±0.56%(P〈0.001);
The aim of this study was to test the influence of high-dose folic acid(10 mg/d) on endothelial function in patients referred for coronary intervention after an acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and determine its relation to homocysteine levels. Flow-mediated dilation(FMD) of the brachial artery was performed in 40 patients after AMI(16 with normal homocysteine levels and 24 patients with elevated levels [〉 ll Ixmol/L]) . Subjects were randomized to receive first folic acid( 10 mg/day; group A) or placebo(group B) for 6 weeks in a double-blind crossover trial with a 2-week washout. Plasma folate, total homocysteine and its subtypes(oxidized, reduced, and protein-bound), FMD, and nitroglycerin-mediated dilation were assessed at baseline and at 6 and 14 weeks.
