In that way, homocysteine is similar to cholesterol because prolonged, elevated levels of it gradually damage the inner linings of blood vessels, causing atherosclerotic plaque and narrowing of the arteries.

High homocysteine levels can result in endothelial dysfunction (a narrowing of the arteries) which in turn is believed to be a precursor of atherosclerosis.
