Palmitoleic Acid Inhibits Hepatotoxic Effects by Reducing Trimethylamine-N-Oxide (TMAO) Formation in High L-Carnitine-Treated Mice

Background/Objectives: This study investigated the effects of palmitoleic acid (POA) consumption on liver function, intestinal microbiota, and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) levels in the serum of mice treated with 3% L-carnitine drinking water. The purpose was to highlight the impact of POA on liver injury associated with high L-carnitine intake. Methods: A correlation analysis was carried out. The physiological and biochemical results showed that the administration of POA could alleviate liver injury induced by high L-carnitine ingestion, as reflected by a reduction in liver function indices (ALT, AST, AKP, and TBA activities) and modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, GSH-Px, MDA, and RAHFR). The study also monitored the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Additionally, to assess the impact of POA on intestinal microbiota, we conducted a 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis. Results: The findings indicated that POA administration resulted in lower levels of TMAO in treated mice. Furthermore, POA could regulate the composition of intestinal microbiota in L-carnitine mice, particularly affecting Bacteroides vulgatus, Parabacteroides distasonis, Alistipes shahii, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, and Parasutterella secunda, which were closely related to liver injury. Conclusions: In summary, POA could repair liver damage caused by high intake of L-carnitine by regulating the distribution of intestinal flora and subsequently decreasing serum TMAO levels.
