The Effects of Acute Exercise and Exercise Training on Plasma Homocysteine: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although studies have demonstrated that physical exercise alters homocysteine levels in the blood, meta-analyses of the effects of acute exercise and exercise training on homocysteine blood concentration have not been performed, especially regarding the duration and intensity of exercise, which could affect homocysteine levels differently.

Objective
