Mouse studies have found that dietary choline is associated with increasing levels of plasma trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) and increasing risk of atherosclerosis — a process that is likely mediated by gut microbiota. Two human clinical trials support these findings. The first demonstrates that phosphatidylcholine (PC) increases plasma levels of TMAO. Following broad-spectrum antibiotic use (and subsequent reduction in gut flora), production of TMAO was reduced after a PC challenge. A large population study demonstrates the connection between TMAO and cardiovascular disease.
