Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal microbiota metabolism of L-carnitine, a nutrient in red meat, promotes atherosclerosis
Robert A. Koeth,Zeneng Wang,Bruce S. Levison,Jennifer A. Buffa,Elin Org,Brendan Sheehy,Earl B. Britt,Xiaoming Fu,Yuping Wu,Lin Li,Jonathan D. Smith,Joseph A. DiDonato,Jun Chen,Hongzhe Li,Gary D. Wu,James D. Lewis,Manya Warrier,J. Mark Brown,Ronald M. Krauss,W.H. Wilson Tang,Frederic D. Bushman,Aldons J. Lusis,Stanley L. Hazen +22 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metabolism by intestinal microbiota of dietary l-carnitine, a trimethylamine abundant in red meat, also produces TMAO and accelerates atherosclerosis in mice, and intestinal microbiota may contribute to the well-established link between high levels of red meat consumption and CVD risk.

TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
