Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the impact of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using a special type of mouse that lacks the farnesoid X receptor (FXR).
  • - Mice on a diet enriched with TMAO for 13 weeks showed lower liver damage markers and reduced hepatic bile acid and cholesterol levels compared to regular (wild-type) mice.
  • - The findings indicate that TMAO may improve liver health in FXR-null mice by altering bile acid and cholesterol metabolism without relying on the FXR pathway.
