Research Progress on Homocysteine Levels, Depression and Sleep Disorder

抑郁障碍(Depression disorder)是最常见的精神疾病，大部分患者都伴有睡眠问题。同时，长期的睡眠障碍(Sleep disorder)也能引起抑郁情绪，两者之间存在双向关系。同型半胱氨酸(Homocysteine, Hcy)是一种非必需含硫氨基酸，是多种疾病发生发展中的重要危险因素。目前有研究表明Hcy与抑郁障碍以及Hcy与睡眠障碍之间存在密切的联系。Depression is the most common mental disorder, and most patients have sleep problems. Meanwhile, long-term sleep disorders can also cause depressive emotions, and there is a bidirectional relationship between depression and sleep disorders. Homocysteine is a non essential sulfur-containing amino acid and an important risk factor in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Currently, studies have shown a close relationship between Homocysteine and depression, as well as between Hcy and sleep disorders.
