Is hyperhomocysteinemia associated with decreased erythropoietin expression in rats?
Our data show that severe hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) affects the MP in the renal tissue and lowers EPO expression following CO induced intoxication. This result supports the concept that efficient EPO production requires an unimpaired MP.
The findings of our study suggest that alexithymia behaves like a stable personality trait in the general population.
