Abstract
Background null Cysteine is a glutathione precursor, but is also a homocysteine byproduct. We prospectively evaluated relationships between fasting plasma concentrations of total cysteine and total homocysteine, and subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) in women. null Methods null Among 32,826 women who provided blood samples between 1989 and 1990, 239 were diagnosed with incident MI after blood collection, but before July 1998. Of these women,...
