Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is the most common vascular disease and the dominant pathological basis of various cardiovascular diseases, and is characterized by lipid deposition, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibrous tissue proliferation
The evidence is mechanistically consistent and promising, but has not reached the level required for FDA approval or clinical guideline inclusion
Bringing this back to homocysteine, it is known that when homocysteine is elevated in the blood, its precursor, S-adenosylhomocysteine, is elevated intracellularly
