Abstract:
Recent researches revealed that intestinal flora contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome, espe?cially to the disorder of their targeted cardiovascular system. Blood cholesterol level is affected by the metabolism of intesti?nal flora in cholesterol and bile acid. At the same time, the blood cholesterol level is the key player in development of athero?sclerosis. This review mainly discussed the relationship between the intestinal flora dependent metabolite trimethylamine ox?ide (Trimetlylamine oxide, TMAO) and atherosclerosis.
