The Fate of Trimethylamine Oxide and Trimethylamine in Man

H. L. A. Tarr

Abstract

Normal human urine contains small amounts of trimethylamine oxide but no appreciable trimethylamine. Trimethylamine when administered orally appears mainly as trimethylamine oxide in the urine; trimethylamine oxide similarly administered is excreted unchanged, thus proving the existence in man of a system capable of oxidizing trimethylamine.
