Claus, S. P. (2014) Mammalian-microbial cometabolism of L-Carnitine in the context of atherosclerosis. Cell Metabolism, 20 (5). pp. 699-700. ISSN 1550-4131 doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2014.10.014
Abstract/Summary
g-butyrobetaine has long been known as the precursor of endogenous L-carnitine synthesis. In this issue, Koeth et al. (2014) demonstrate that it is also a major metabolite of L-carnitine degradation by gut bacteria that precedes the enteric production of trimethylamine and trimethylamine-N-oxide.
