Given that isotope tracer studies show BB is clearly formed following oral l-carnitine ingestion, and similarly, isotope-labeled BB was readily converted into isotope-labeled TMA/TMAO following oral ingestion, we hypothesized that low overall plasma concentrations of gut microbiotaproduced BB in humans may be the result of microbial BB breakdown into TMA, predominantly occurring in the lower intestinal track (colon) distal to the absorption of most nutrients like l-carnitine and BB

In the first step, TMA is produced from dietary precursor catalyzed by microbial TMA lyase, a rate limiting step

A randomized controlled trial comparing ligation and sclerotherapy as emergency endoscopic treatment added to somatostatin in acute variceal bleeding

Both endogenous and exogenous forms of vit-D are inactive and require two successive hydroxylation steps by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes to form fully active vit-D

Of these, they identified feruloylputrescine, a compound in the orange peel polar fraction, which inhibits TMA production by suppressing the CntA/B enzyme
