Produktinformation

• Name: Trimethylamine N-oxide
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a trimethylamine derivative that is produced by the oxidation of trimethylamine. TMAO has been shown to be released during digestion and can be detected in plasma and urine. The presence of TMAO in atherosclerotic lesions may have pathological implications, as it has been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for DNA polymerase beta. TMAO has also been associated with bowel disease, as it has been shown to induce an immune response in patients with ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, TMAO inhibits the synthesis of proteins by blocking ribosomal RNA transcription and translation. Trimethylamine N-oxide is known to act as a signal peptide that activates primary sclerosing cholangitis in patients with biliary tract diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis or primary biliary cirrhosis.
