Summary
This study looks at why some people have a bigger rise in TMAO (a heart disease risk marker) after eating red meat. Researchers will check if a specific gene in gut bacteria, called gbu, can predict TMAO levels. 230 healthy adults will take L-carnitine pills and provide blood, urine, and stool samples. The goal is to better understand individual differences in heart risk from diet.
