Coronary Heart Disease and TMAO Concentrations

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020
We congratulate Heianza et al. ([1][1]) for their important study showing the association between a 10-year change in TMAO levels and incidence of coronary heart disease. May we kindly ask the authors to provide some additional information to help put their findings into clinical perspective?

Escherichia coli TatA and TatB Proteins Have N-out, C-in Topology in Intact Cells [PDF]

, 2012
The twin arginine protein transport (Tat) system translocates folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes and the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]

, 2011
Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Microbiota-Derived Metabolite Trimethylamine N-Oxide Protects Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism and Cardiac Functionality in a Rat Model of Right Ventricle Heart Failure

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Aim: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-derived metabolite synthesized in host organisms from specific food constituents, such as choline, carnitine and betaine. During the last decade, elevated TMAO levels have been proposed as biomarkers

Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]

, 2010
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

Gut microbiota-dependent trimethylamine n-oxide pathway contributes to the bidirectional relationship between intestinal inflammation and periodontitis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundIntestinal inflammation and periodontitis influence the development of each other through the bidirectional relationship. As the intestinal microbiome metabolite, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) could contribute to chronic inflammation in the gut

Gut Microbial Metabolism and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. [PDF]

, 2019
The gut microbiome, the multispecies community of microbes that exists in the gastrointestinal tract, encodes several orders of magnitude more functional genes than the human genome. It also plays a pivotal role in human health, in part due to metabolism

Gut-Derived Serum Lipopolysaccharide is Associated With Enhanced Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Atrial Fibrillation: Effect of Adherence to Mediterranean Diet [PDF]

, 2017
Gut microbiota is emerging as a novel risk factor for atherothrombosis, but the predictive role of gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is unknown. We analyzed (1) the association between LPS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in atrial ...
