Abstract

Correction for ‘Inhibition of pro-atherogenic trimethylamine production from choline by human gut bacteria is not determined by varying chlorogenic acid content in highbush blueberries’ by Ashley M. McAmis et al., Food Funct., 2025, 16, 8004–8020, https://doi.org/10/1039/D5FO02676H.


The authors incorrectly cited ref. 8 (J. R. Ussher, G. D. Lopaschuk and A. Arduini, Atherosclerosis, 2013, 231, 456–461) in support of the statement “Studies suggest that elevated concentrations of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the blood are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis” in the introduction. On the contrary, ref. 8 argues against a causative role of TMAO as a potential independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. The authors would like to apologize to the authors of ref. 8 (J. R. Ussher, G. D. Lopaschuk and A. Arduini) for incorrectly stating that their article supported a causative role for TMAO in atherosclerosis.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
