Gut Microbiota-Generated Trimethylamine N-Oxide and Cardiometabolic Health in Humans
There is an association between the human microbiome and disease. Gut microbes metabolize dietary sources to release trimethylamine (TMA). TMA is absorbed and then oxidized by flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) to form trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Elevated TMAO is associated with increased risk of card...
