Popis: Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is a microbiota-dependent and primarily animal-protein-derived proatherogenic metabolite. The ecological impact of pork-the most popular animal protein worldwide-on the human microbiome, and in the physiological context of TMAO and other biogenic amines, remains unknown. Poultry being the recommended heart-healthier animal protein, we investigated-if pork intake results in inferior-to-chicken TMAO-response while consuming a diet based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA).In a randomized, controlled, all-food-provided, crossover, feeding trial, healthy adults consumed 156 g dayUnlike extrapolating negative results, this study presents noninferiority-testing based evidence. Consuming pork as a predominant protein within an omnivorous DGA-diet does not exacerbate TMAO-response. Results highlight the importance of understanding protein-TMAO interactions within dietary patterns.
