YI 1.4 Increases in Circulating Trimethylamine-N-Oxide Contribute to the Development of Age-Related Aortic Stiffness in Humans and Mice

Age-related increases in aortic stiffness, assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV), predict cardiovascular (CV)-related mortality, but the upstream drivers are incompletely understood. Purpose: To determine if higher circulating levels of the gut microbiome-derived metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide (...
