      Excessive alcohol intake can alter the gut microbiota, which may underlie the pathophysiology of alcohol-related diseases. We examined gut microbiota composition and functions in patients with alcohol overconsumption for >10 years, compared to a control group of patients with a history of no or low alcohol intake. Faecal microbiota composition was assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Gut microbiota ...

    • Microbial trimethylamine-N-oxide as a disease marker: something fishy? 

      Landfald, Bjarne; Valeur, Jørgen; Berstad, Arnold; Raa, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-19)
      Production of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) via the gut microbiota has recently been proposed as an important pathophysiological mechanism linking ingestion of ‘unhealthy foods’, such as beef (containing carnitine) and eggs (containing choline), and the development of atherosclerosis. Hence, TMAO has gained attention as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular disease. However, fish and seafood contain ...
