The TMAO pathway and its metabolites are possibly involved in the development of two major health problems: insulin resistance and cancer. Within these pathways novel therapeutic targets may be identified. Further research is needed in order to verify existing or develop new pharmacological agents that modify these pathways and reduce the risk of insulin resistance and GIC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
