Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: -oxide (TMAO) formation, a gut microbiota (GM)-derived compound that promotes cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. The formation of TMAO is a metaorganismal process, where trimethylamine (TMA), produced from the dietary precursors betaine, L-carnitine and choline by various members of GM, is absorbed and subsequently oxidized by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases before entering the...
