Application


  • Blood trimethylamine-N-oxide origins: Explores the microbiota-mediated breakdown of phosphatidylcholine and absorption from the small intestine, significant for drug discovery in cardiovascular diseases (Stremmel et al., 2017).

  • Diabetes and trimethylamine N-oxide levels: Discusses the strong associations between systemic trimethylamine N-oxide levels and diabetes, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets for drug discovery (Dambrova et al., 2016).

  • Detection via lanthanide metal-organic framework: Trimethylamine-N-oxide detection using a lanthanide MOF, critical for advancing sensor technology in material science (Min et al., 2022).

  • Trimethylamine N-Oxide research: Overview of trimethylamine N-oxide′s roles, focusing on dietary sources and health implications, valuable for academia and nutritional studies (Velasquez et al., 2016).

  • Efficient gas sensors: Application of MoS2/SnO2 heterojunctions in creating effective gas sensors for trimethylamine, useful in material science for developing new sensor technologies (Qiao et al., 2018).
