Regulating Intestinal Microbes to Decrease the Incidence of Heart Disease
Abstract
This paper studies the correlation between intestinal microbes and heart disease. In the paper, the process of human body producing Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) under the role of intestinal microbes has been analyzed, and the ways to reduce the level of TMAO which can increase the incidence of heart disease has been designed. The expected result is that the level of TMAO in plasma is successfully reduced by regulating intestinal microbes. This paper can provide useful information for further studies in self-healing therapy by regulating intestinal microbes.
