Abstract
A high plasma homocysteine level is a newly regarded risk factor for c oronary artery disease. We report a synergistic effect of homocysteine plus cholesterol feeding on further raising total plasma homocysteine , cholesterol and triglycerides levels than each agent alone, which fu rther enhances the risk of coronary artery disease.
