A Mediterranean-style Eating Pattern Lower in Lean Red Meat Reduced Plasma Trimethylamine N-Oxide in Adults Classified as Overweight or Obese (P08-030-19)

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Objectives

To determine the effect of adopting a Mediterranean-style eating pattern with different quantities of lean unprocessed red meat on the plasma concentration of Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO), an emerging potential cardiovascular disease risk factor, in middle-aged adults classified as overweight or obese.

Methods

Thirty-nine adults (12 males and 27 females; age 46 ±10 years, BMI 30.6 ± 3.6 kg/m2; mean ± SD) participated in a randomized, crossover and controlled feeding trial. Each participant consumed a Mediterranean-style eating pattern for two 5-week intervention periods separated by ∼4 weeks of consuming their unrestricted, self-selected diet (washout). The Mediterranean-style eating pattern contained either a commonly recommended amount of red meat (
