These authors suggest the toxicity may be associated with the reverse hydrolysis of homocysteine to SAH resulting in the dramatic reduction of the SAM/SAH ratio to a point where methylation reactions are inhibited.
Subsequently, several studies have found higher mean homocysteine levels in patients with coronary, peripheral, and cerebral vascular disease, particularly in those with vascular disease not readily explained by conventional risk factors such as high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking.
