The Health Edge: TMAO and the Gut-Heart Connection

In this episode of The Health Edge Mark and John discuss the relationship between diet, TMAO (trimethylamine-N-oxide), and cardiovascular risk association. With far more questions than answers, we see agin the central role that the microbiome plays in the connections between nutrition and health. TMAO is found in high concentrations in salt water fish. TMAO is also formed by conversion in the gut by bacterial transformation of foods high in choline and carnitine such as eggs and red meats. The liver produces more TMAO in states of inflammation and insulin resistance from these foods, contingent on the diversity of the biome.
