So far, treatments aiming to decrease homocysteine blood levels, associated with other therapies, have indeed shown a potential effect in preventing stroke episodes ( Biosynthesis and Metabolism of Homocysteine (HCys) HCys is obtained by a biochemical synthesis from the demethylation of Methionine (Met) and goes through three subsequent steps ( Thus, the HCys so obtained can be metabolized by two reactions, trans-sulfuration or re-methylation ( N -methyl tetrahydrofolate (5-methyl-THF) to HCys ( N -methyl-THF is the major source of methyl groups for the re-methylation of HCys although, depending on the body organ, betaine, through the enzyme involved, betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT), can also act as methyl group donors
