Impact of a 12-Week Hypocaloric Weight Loss Diet with Mixed Tree Nuts vs. Pretzels on Trimethylamine-N-Oxide (TMAO) Levels in Overweight Adults
The 12-week hypocaloric diet reduced body weight and plasma TMAO levels similarly in both MTN and pretzel groups. Participants with lower dietary quality saw a greater reduction in TMAO levels in the MTN group, suggesting MTNs may better modulate TMAO levels, especially for those with poorer baseline diets.
