TMA-O paper : Mice and liver damage

The 2011 paper suggesting that TMA-oxide may be a key cause of CVD has meant there has since been much interest in trimethylamine metabolism in humans whereas before there was almost none. There are now maybe 1 or 2 papers a week published about TMAO/TMA etc. Usually to see if it may be associated with a serious disorder or to do with CVD

In this new Chinese paper I don't see anything remarkable. It is posted more to demonstrate the constant stream of papers.

They seem to have fed mice high TMA-Oxide diets and conclude TMAO may be associated with liver damage in them.

What has this to do with Systemic Body Odor ?
It is my current belief that most cases of systemic body odor are to do with FMO3 enzyme, which oxidizes many sulfides and amines. So any research to do with TMA metabolism  or FMO3 in humans may in my opinion be of interest to those with systemic body odor too.
