Possible Interaction: Homocysteine and Fenofibrate

supplement:

Homocysteine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Fenofibrate use was associated with a 6% increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a 28% decrease in triglycerides, a 5% decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and a 55% increase in plasma homocysteine (tHcy).
The American journal of cardiology  •  2004  |  View Paper
Fenofibrate significantly lowered plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and fibrinogen (P<0.001), and elevated HDL-cholesterol and homocysteine (P<0.001).
Atherosclerosis  •  2003  |  View Paper
Fenofibrate increases plasma homocysteine.
The Lancet  •  2001  |  View Paper
Since tHcy is considered an emerging cardiovascular risk factor, the ability of FEN to increase plasma tHcy levels could potentially mitigate the potential of this drug to protect against cardiovascular disease.
Atherosclerosis  •  2001  |  View Paper
Fenofibrate induced a significant increase in both homocysteine and cysteine plasma levels (+35.8 and +18%, respectively, P<0.0001); by contrast, cysteinylglycine remained stable.
Atherosclerosis  •  2001  |  View Paper
After fenofibrate plus placebo the increase in homocysteine concentration was 44+/-47%.
The increase in homocysteine in response to fenofibrate may counteract the cardioprotective effect of lipid lowering.
Atherosclerosis  •  2001  |  View Paper
A 44% and 17.5% increase of homocysteine occurred in patients treated either with fenofibrate or bezafibrate.
The Lancet  •  1999  |  View Paper
Abstract Background: The lipid-lowering effect of fenofibrate is accompanied by a rise in plasma homocysteine (HCY), a potential risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Fenofibrate may predispose individuals with high pretreatment HCY towards VTE.
Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine  •  2012  |  View Paper
This finding raised the question whether high Hcy may influence HDL function and counteract benefits of fenofibrate on cardiovascular outcomes.
