Summary

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a small organic compound naturally present in fish and seefood or generated by the bacterial breakdown of dietary phosphatidylcholine and carnitine-containing foods within the human gut microbiome. Elevated serum TMAO was previously reported to be associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular events.

Aim of this study was to investigate the association between plasma levels of TMAO with the Mediterranean diet in a cohort of healthy adults.
