medicine | hyperhomocysteinemia is induced in human DDAH1 transgenic mice and wild-type littermates using a high methionine/low folate diet. Plasma total homocysteine is elevated approximately 3fold in both wild-type and DDAH1 transgenic mice fed the high methionine/low folate diet compared with the control diet. Plasma asymmetrical dimethylarginine is approximately 40% lower in DDAH1 transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice irrespective of diet. Responses to 10 microM papaverine, a direct smooth muscle dilator, are impaired with the high methionine/low folate diet in wild-type mice but not DDAH1 transgenic mice. DDAH1 transgenic mice also are protected from hypertrophy of cerebral arterioles but not from accelerated carotid artery thrombosis induced by the high methionine/low folate diet | Homo sapiens |
