Inhibition of pro-atherogenic trimethylamine production from choline by human gut bacteria is not determined by varying chlorogenic acid content in highbush blueberries

Abstract excerpt
Elevated blood levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) are linked to increased risk of atherosclerosis. TMAO is produced when gut bacteria metabolize quaternary amines such as choline to trimethylamine (TMA), which is converted to TMAO in the liver. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a phenolic abundant in blueberries, inhibits TMA production. Blueberries may be a TMA- (and TMAO)-lowering food. CGA content in blueberries var...
