This is obviously of great interest to the TMAU community because :
1. It would mean TMA would be associated with heart disease.
2. It might mean more anti-TMA therapies i nthe future (if not already on the way).
TMA-oxide and Heart Disease
In 2011, Cleveland Clinic Heartlab first suggested the hypothesis ... TMA-oxide is a BIOMARKER and CAUSE of damage that leads to HEART DISEASE etc.
This small Polish study suggests in rats it's TMA that is the BIOMARKER and perhaps a CAUSE, rather than TMAO.
What to think ?
This is the way research goes. One lab says one thing and another says another.
e.g. The way studies say butter is good (or bad ) for you.
Then over time a consensus is decided (e.g. climate change or not ?).
So for now the 'TMA - CVD' theory could be a blip or the correct theory, or neither ??
Polish lab
It's good to see a Polish lab interested in TMA and TMA-oxide.
Leaky Gut
Also interesting to see LEAKY GUT get a mention in the study.
They say older rats more prone to 'leaky gut', leading to more TMA absorption (??).
Quote ...
In vitro, TMA at concentration of 500 µmol/L (2-fold higher than in portal blood) decreased hVSMCs viability. In contrast, TMAO at 1000-fold higher concentration than physiological one, had no effect on hVSMCs viability. In conclusion, older rats show higher plasma level of TMA due to a “leaky gut”. TMA but not TMAO affects hVSMCs viability. We propose that TMA but not TMAO may be a marker and mediator of cardiovascular risk.
Upcoming Anti-TMA pill made by Procter and Gamble
P&G in association with Cleveland Heartlab will be producing an 'over-the counter' TMA-inhibiting supplement in the future.
It is unknown when it will market.
Speculation to the supplement reaching market could be from 2020 to maybe 2023 or later.
It's top secret and nothing is told to MEBO.
