Can homocysteine be reduced by running?

Running generally does not directly reduce homocysteine.

Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, an intermediate product of cysteine and methionine metabolism. Because running cannot bind cysteine and cannot metabolize homocysteine, it cannot directly reduce homocysteine levels. However, high homocysteine may be related to H-type hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, chronic renal failure and other diseases. Moderate running is beneficial to control the disease and can play an adjuvant role.

Patients need further blood pressure measurement, coronary angiography, renal function examination, etc. to clarify the cause and carry out targeted treatment.
