Understanding the Relationship Between Cerebrovascular Disease and the Gut Microbiome

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Among other potential contributors to atheroma formation and cerebrovascular disease, the gut microbiome has become increasingly implicated as a mediator of vascular risk. Several of these toxic metabolites, including trimethylamine and trimethylamine Noxide, have been extensively studied in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
