    Abstract

    Background: It is unclear whether homocysteine itself is causal in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Alternatively or additionally, the association between homocysteine and cardiovascular disease may be because of its metabolic precursor, S-adenosylhomocysteine, or of the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine. Therefore, it is relevant to know how these moieties are interrelated, and whether, as is the case for homocysteine, they are influenced by blood levels of folate, cobalamin or vitamin B
