Abstract

Kidney markers are strongly associated with levels of plasma TMAO.

  • TMAO is linked to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
  • Blood markers, metabolites, proteins, and gut microbiota patterns are significantly associated with TMAO levels.
  • CVD-related proteins show a positive correlation with TMAO.
  • Metabolites produced by gut microbiota are strongly correlated with TMAO, with correlation strength varying by kidney function.
  • Diet-related patterns in the microbiome are correlated with TMAO levels.
  • The accumulation of TMAO and its role in promoting atherosclerosis involves complex interactions between diet, microbiome, and other systemic factors.
