Characterization of TMAO productivity phenotypes by using OCCT may also help explore key human microbiome signatures of TMA synthesis from carnitine [11]
It has been proposed that carnitine deficiency might reduce erythrocyte half-life, by adversely influencing the integrity of the erythrocyte membrane

Antioxidant - a compound that prevents or repairs the damage caused by reactive oxygen species Antioxidant enzymes - enzymes that contribute to neutralizing atoms or molecules capable of damaging essential cell constituents Atherosclerosis - the buildup of plaque inside arterial walls Coronary - referring to the heart and especially the vessels that supply blood to the heart Inverse association - a relationship between two variables in which they move in opposite directions Ischemia - inadequate blood supply to an organ or tissue Observational study - a human research study in which no experimental intervention or treatment is applied, and participants are simply observed over time Oxidative stress - a situation in which the production of reactive oxygen species exceeds the ability of an organism to eliminate or neutralize them Placebo - a chemically inactive substance Plaque - a deposit of fat, cholesterol, immune cells, fibrin (a blood clotting protein), and other substances that forms inside arterial walls
