Intestinal microbiota metabolism of L-carnitine, a nutrient in red meat, promotes atherosclerosis
Nature Medicine, 2013 Intestinal microbiota metabolism of choline and phosphatidylcholine produces trimethylamine (TMA), which is further metabolized to a proatherogenic species, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO).

A Microbiota Assimilation [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2018 While the gut microbiota's malleability makes it highly responsive to our environment, it also renders it susceptible to rapid selection by factors associated with an industrialized lifestyle. Recently, in Cell, Vangay et al. (2018) have tracked and revealed rapid and profound changes in the gut community of immigrants to one that resembles long-term ...
