Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) and Trimethylamine (TMA) Determinations of Two Hadal Amphipods
Hadal trenches are a unique habitat with high hydrostatic pressure, low temperature and scarce food supplies. Amphipods are the dominant scavenging metazoan species in this ecosystem.

Recent studies revealed that some intestinal microorganisms anaerobically convert choline to trimethylamine (TMA) by choline TMA-lyase (cutC). TMA is further oxidized to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), by the liver enzyme flavin-dependent monooxygenase 3 (

Stilbene-based derivatives as potential inhibitors of trimethylamine (TMA)-lyase affect gut microbiota in coronary heart disease. [PDF]
AbstractCoronary heart disease (CHD) is defined by atherosclerosis, which may result in stenosis or blockage of the arterial cavity, leading to ischemic cardiac diseases such as angina and myocardial infarction (MI). Accumulating evidence indicates that the gut microbiota play a critical role in the initiation and progression of CHD.

Screening freshness of seafood by measuring trimethylamine (TMA) levels using helium-plasma ionization mass spectrometry (HePI-MS) [PDF]
Background Trimethylamine (TMA) is a marker used for monitoring the quality of seafood because it is the primary component of the “fishy” odor. Methods The levels of TMA in seafood samples were directly measured by helium-plasma ionization mass ...

Electrophoretic Determination of Trimethylamine (TMA) in Biological Samples as a Novel Potential Biomarker of Cardiovascular Diseases Methodological Approach. [PDF]
In competitive athletes, the differential diagnosis between nonpathological changes in cardiac morphology associated with training (commonly referred to as “athlete’s heart”) and certain cardiac diseases with the potential for sudden death is an important and not uncommon clinical problem.

Exposure Patterns of Multiple Pesticides and Urinary Alterations of Trimethylamine (TMA) and Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) among Pregnant Women. [PDF]
Environmental exposure to pesticides is widespread and commonly occurs in mixtures, and pregnant women are particularly concerned. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a dietary-derived catabolite linked to cardiometabolic disease, may be influenced by pesticide exposure.

Isolation and Characterization of the Trimethylamine (TMA)-Degrading <i>Microbacterium lacticum</i> Strain PM-1. [PDF]
Trimethylamine (TMA) is a common malodorous pollutant known for its detrimental effects on both the natural environment and human health. In this study, strain PM-1 was successfully isolated from activated sludge in a sewage treatment plant and identified as the first Microbacterium lacticum capable of degrading TMA.

A Pomegranate Polyphenol Extract Suppresses the Microbial Production of Proatherogenic Trimethylamine (TMA) in an In Vitro Human Colon Model. [PDF]
ABSTRACTHigh circulating levels of trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) are linked to metabolic diseases, adverse outcomes after heart failure, and atherogenic effects in animal models and in human subjects. l‐Carnitine and choline are major dietary precursors of TMAO.
