CRP and metabolic syndrome: Conversely, Andraos et al [42] evaluated 1166 children aged 11 to 12 years and did not identify any correlation between TMAO and carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure or pulse wave velocity, metabolic syndrome score, or high-sensitivity CRP, although associations were observed for TMAO precursors, such as choline, betaine, and carnitine.
