Trimethylamine N-oxide
Explanation: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a compound produced in the body when gut bacteria break down certain nutrients found in foods like red meat, eggs, and dairy. The liver converts these breakdown products into TMAO, which then circulates in the blood and is excreted by the kidney in urine. TMAO regulates the various bodily functions involved in the development of heart health.
Test Purpose:
- Evaluate TMAO levels as a possible indicator of cardiovascular disease risk
- Assess kidney function, as TMAO is cleared by the kidneys and may accumulate if they are impaired
