                    [Title] => High homocysteine levels linked to brain atrophy in alcoholics
                    [Summary] => There is strong  correlation between high blood plasma levels of homocysteine and reduced brain hippocampal volume in chronic alcoholics, an MRI study has shown for the first time. These findings  suggest that increased plasma levels of the excitatory amino acid may be a risk factor for alcohol-induced brain atrophy, according to a professor of psychiatry at Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Erlangen, Germany.
