Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 3 NO. It is in the class of amine oxides. Although the anhydrous compound is known, trimethylamine N-oxide is usually encountered as the dihydrate. Both the anhydrous and hydrated materials are white, water-soluble solids.
FMO3 is the primary enzyme in humans which catalyzes the N-oxidation of trimethylamine into trimethylamine N-oxide; [8] [10] FMO1 also does this, but to a much lesser extent than FMO3. [13] [14] Genetic deficiencies of the FMO3 enzyme cause primary trimethylaminuria, also known as "fish odor syndrome".
Normally, the FMO3 enzyme converts fishy-smelling trimethylamine into trimethylamine N-oxide which has no odor. If the enzyme is missing or its activity is reduced because of a mutation in the FMO3 gene, trimethylamine is not broken down and instead builds up in the body. As the compound is released in a person's sweat, urine, and breath, it ...

The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, [1] [2] including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung ...
Side effects, such as digestive issues or gas, are typically mild and self-limited. In rare cases, some people may have an allergic reaction to probiotics, Zumpano adds.
Trimethylamine (TMA) is an organic compound with the formula N(CH 3) 3.It is a trimethylated derivative of ammonia.TMA is widely used in industry. [5] [6] At higher concentrations it has an ammonia-like odor, and can cause necrosis of mucous membranes on contact. [7]
The gut has taken the microbiome spotlight because it houses the highest proportion of bacteria. We likely have 1,000 or so species, and maybe up to 100 trillion individual critters in total ...
