Fecal Microbiome Composition Does Not Predict Diet‐Induced TMAO Production in Healthy Adults

Abstract excerpt

Background Trimethylamine‐ N ‐oxide (TMAO) is a small molecule derived from the metabolism of dietary nutrients by gut microbes and contributes to cardiovascular disease. Plasma TMAO increases following consumption of red meat. This metabolic change is thought to be partly because of the expansion of gut microbes able to use nutrients abundant in red meat. Methods and Results We used data from a randomized...
