Research advances of trimethylamine N-oxide and chronic kidney diseases
Trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)is an important gut microbiota-dependent metabolite.Currently many clinical studies have confirmed the correlation between TMAO and the prognosis of chronic kidney disease(CKD)patients.This review summarized the latest ...

Fecal Microbiome Composition Does Not Predict Diet‐Induced TMAO Production in Healthy Adults
Background Trimethylamine‐N‐oxide (TMAO) is a small molecule derived from the metabolism of dietary nutrients by gut microbes and contributes to cardiovascular disease. Plasma TMAO increases following consumption of red meat.

Identification and characterization of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) demethylase and TMAO permease in Methylocella silvestris BL2. [PDF]
Methylocella silvestris, an alphaproteobacterium isolated from a forest soil, can grow on trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) as a sole nitrogen source; however, the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underpinning its growth remain unknown. Marker-exchange mutagenesis enabled the identification of several genes involved in TMAO metabolism, including ...

Relationship of Serum Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) Levels with early Atherosclerosis in Humans [PDF]
AbstractCirculating trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) levels predict cardiovascular disease (CVD), possibly by impacting on cholesterol metabolism and oxidative stress. Because hepatic TMAO production is regulated by insulin signalling and it is unclear whether and to what extent circulating TMAO levels associate with CVD risk, independently of insulin ...

Effect of urea and tmao on lipid bilayers
We study the effect of the osmolytes, Urea and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) on POPE (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphoethanolamine) lipid membranes using SAXS/WAXS and DSC.

Trimethylamine-N-oxide: a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke is by far the most common cerebrovascular disease and a major burden to the global economy and public health. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a small molecule compound produced by the metabolism of intestinal microorganisms, is reportedly ...

An Expanded Genetic Code Enables Trimethylamine Metabolism in Human Gut Bacteria
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been linked to animal-based diets, which are a major source of trimethylamine (TMA), a precursor of the proatherogenic compound trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO).

Investigating the Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) Induced Structure of α-Synuclein [PDF]
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a naturally occurring osmolyte that is known to stabilize protein structure. Previous studies have shown that the addition of TMAO can induce folding of thermodynamically unstable proteins, causing them to regain high functional activity. In solution, monomeric α-synuclein (αS) is intrinsically disordered.

Detection of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) can allow for early intervention of cardiovascular disease, but is challenging to achieve using conventional materials and instruments owing to it being spectroscopically silent in the UV-visible region. Here, a
