Cobalamin concentrations were lower in Greyhounds (median, 416\u2009ng\/L) compared to controls (644\u2009ng\/L; P\u2009=\u2009.004) and were inversely correlated with HCy (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.40, P\u2009=\u2009.004). Serum concentrations of folate, which is regenerated when HCy is converted to methionine, also were inversely correlated with HCy (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.47, P\u2009=\u2009.002). Serum methionine concentrations were more than 4-fold lower in Greyhounds (median, 3.2\u2009\u03bcmol\/L) compared to controls (median, 15.0\u2009\u03bcmol\/L), but this difference was not significant (P\u2009=\u2009.3).
