methylmalonic acid and Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular in 1 studies

Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.
methylmalonic acid : A dicarboxylic acid that is malonic acid in which one of the methylene hydrogens is substituted by a methyl group.

Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular: Enlargement of the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is attributed to sustained abnormal pressure or volume loads and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This study was undertaken to assess whether high serum levels of total homocysteine (tHcy) with its metabolites methylmalonic acid (MMA), methylcitric acid (MCA) and cystathionine (CYSTA) as well as elevated serum concentrations of the AGEs pentosidine and Nepsilon-carboxymethyllysine (CML) are independent risk factors for CVD, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or hypertension as well as kidney dysfunction in renal transplant recipients (RTR)."3.72Serum levels of total homocysteine, homocysteine metabolites and of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in patients after renal transplantation.
