Because it mimics the effects of two different hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), it potentially has more benefits than drugs that only mimic GLP-1, like Ozempic

Indeed, in a model of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), T-cell-depleted bone marrow transplants fed with TMAO-rich diet exhibited a significant increase in the frequency of F4/80 + CD11b + CD16/32 + inflammatory macrophages relative to the F4/80 + CD11b + whole population, worsening disease severity, and increasing mortality ( Figure 3 Beyond the inflammatory response, choline metabolism is also implicated in IL-4-induced macrophage polarization, critical for immunity against intestinal helminth infection, resolution of inflammation, and tissue repair
