Abstract excerpt
It has been demonstrated that trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) serves as a driver of atherosclerosis, suggesting that reduction of TMAO level might be a potent method to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. Herein, we explored the role of TMAO in the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and disclosed the underlying mechanisms. The unstable carotid artery plaque models were established in C57/BL6 mice....
