Could your gut genes predict your heart risk from steak?
NCT ID NCT05980884
Summary
This study aims to understand why eating red meat raises a heart disease risk marker (TMAO) in some people but not others. Researchers will check if a specific gene (gbu) found in a person's gut bacteria can predict their TMAO levels after they consume carnitine, a compound in red meat. The study involves collecting blood, urine, and stool samples from 230 adults to look for this connection.
