BATCH#5 (April 25, 2013).

Click on icon to see chart

Please click on the the TMAU Test Results Chart icon (on the right) of the 121 TMAU tests from Batches #1-5 performed with Liquid Chromatography since the commencement of this program in June 2012. By seeing where your figures fall in comparison to other sufferers who tested, you can get a better understanding of what role TMA plays in your odor condition.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that this table does not depict the figures of one individual on the same row, and consequently, the significant relationship among the TMA levels, TMAO levels, and the TMA/TMAO Ratio of any one particular individual is not noted except for those of our three volunteers noted on the chart; this was done intentionally to protect the privacy of each participant.

Primary TMAU Positives: 3.31% (4 of 121)
Secondary TMAU Positives: 25.62% (31 of 121)
TOTAL TMAU POSITIVE: 28.93% (35 of 121)

How results are interpreted:

• TMAU1 can only be truly confirmed by FMO3 enzyme analysis (difficult because a liver biopsy would be needed) or DNA analysis.
• TMAU2 must be a diagnosis by exclusion.
• TMA-oxide can be used as a guide, but is not diagnostic for TMAU2.
• Therefore, if TMA is increased and TMA-oxide is normal and (as in many cases) FMO3 is not proven to be affected the diagnosis must be TMAU2 by exclusion.
• If TMA is normal and TMA-oxide is significantly high, suggest a re-test following a choline load.
