The oral carnitine challenge test (OCCT) can be used to estimate potentially harmful plasma TMAO levels from carnitine intake. a Schematic of the OCCT procedure and study protocol. b The OCCT curves for vegetarians and omnivores pre- and post-carnitine supplementation. c Fasting plasma TMAO levels in vegetarians and omnivores pre- and post-carnitine supplementation. d Classification of low- and high-TMAO producers based on a cut-off value of 10 μM for TMAOMAX in the OCCT. e Fasting plasma TMAO levels in low- and high-TMAO producers pre- and post-carnitine supplementation. Data shown here were analyzed by paired and unpaired nonparametric test accordingly; bars represent the mean ± S.E.M for the indicated groups
