Gut Microbial Metabolite TMAO Enhances Platelet Hyperreactivity and Thrombosis Risk.

TLDR
Gut microbes, through generation of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), directly contribute to platelet hyperreactivity and enhanced thrombosis potential, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanistic link between specific dietary nutrients, gut microbes, platelet function, and thromBosis risk.

Gut microbiota and myocardial fibrosis.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the role of intestinal microbiota in the process of myocardial fibrosis, including alterations in microbiota composition and the effects of metabolites, and discuss how diet and medicines can affect cardiac fibrosis by influencing the gut microbiota, and potential future therapies targeting the gut-heart axis.

Associations of plasma TMAO and its precursors with stroke risk in the general population: A nested case‐control study

TL;DR: Increased TMAO was associated with higher stroke risk in the community-based population, whereas the T MAO precursors carnitine, choline, betaine, and TML were not associated.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

The gut microbiota as an environmental factor that regulates fat storage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that conventionalization of adult germ-free C57BL/6 mice with a normal microbiota harvested from the distal intestine (cecum) of conventionally raised animals produces a 60% increase in body fat content and insulin resistance within 14 days despite reduced food intake.

Gut flora metabolism of phosphatidylcholine promotes cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: Discovery of a relationship between gut-flora-dependent metabolism of dietary phosphatidylcholine and CVD pathogenesis provides opportunities for the development of new diagnostic tests and therapeutic approaches for atherosclerotic heart disease.

Intestinal Microbial Metabolism of Phosphatidylcholine and Cardiovascular Risk

TL;DR: The production of TMAO from dietary phosphatidylcholine is dependent on metabolism by the intestinal microbiota and increased levels are associated with an increased risk of incident major adverse cardiovascular events.
