Testing gut bacteria's ability to make TMAO from beef
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether your gut bacteria can produce a compound called TMAO after eating a large amount of beef. It may help doctors understand how diet affects your health and disease risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are willing and able to eat a large amount of beef
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past month
- You have not taken L-carnitine supplements in the past month

This trial looks at whether a structured 12-week diet can lower a blood chemical called TMAO, which is linked to heart and kidney risk for some people. It may help you see if diet changes can shift gut microbes and reduce TMAO-related signals.
This study tests how eating lean beef for 4 weeks affects your heart health and the bacteria in your gut. If you qualify, you'll be asked to follow a consistent diet and activity routine during the study.
This study looks at how a diet low in methionine (a protein building block) affects the bacteria in your gut.
This study tests whether a supplement can improve metabolic health by changing the bacteria in your gut. It looks at how your body processes food and energy.
This trial is testing a new probiotic called Akkermansia muciniphila in healthy adults. It aims to see if the supplement is safe and well-tolerated, possibly helping with gut health.
This study tests a treatment made from healthy donor stool (called microbiota therapy) given as an enema or through a feeding tube. It aims to help people who carry resistant bacteria that are hard to treat, by reducing or clearing those bacteria from the gut.
