One of the key metabolic byproducts of this process is acetyl-CoA, also called "active acetate," which enters the Krebs cycle (also known as the "citric acid cycle") to supply fuel for production of ATP, the cell's primary energy "currency." L-Carnitine shuttles excess fatty acid residues out of the mitochondrion and in this role is essential for preventing toxic buildup of fatty acids inside the mitochondrion
Observational studies have associated higher circulating TMAO with cardiovascular risk, but those studies cannot prove cause and effect and often reflect broader dietary and microbial patterns
