The dietary methylamines choline, carnitine, and phosphatidylcholine are used by the gut microbiota to produce a range of metabolites, including trimethylamine (TMA). However, little is known about use N-oxide (TMAO) this consortium microbes. A feeding study using deuterated TMAO in C57BL6/J mice demonstrated microbial conversion TMA, with uptake TMA into bloodstream its TMAO. Microbial activity necessary convert was suppressed antibiotic-treated mice, being taken up directly bloodstream. In...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF1α) is a transcription factor expressed in tissues of endoderm origin. Mutations HNF1A are associated with maturity-onset diabetes the young 3 (MODY3). Mice deficient for Hnf1α hyperglycemic, their pancreatic β-cells being defective glucose-sensing insulin secretion. The specific mechanisms involved this defect unclear. Gut hormones control glucose homeostasis. Our objective was to explore whether changes these play role homeostasis absence Hnf1α. An increase...
