TMA concentration in the urine of EESJ-treated ICR mice. (a) The TMA concentration was measured in urine of subset groups using GC-MS analyses. (b) Chemical formula of TMA. (c) Relative concentration of peak area for TMA. Three to five mice per group were used to prepare the urine samples, and GC-MS was assayed in duplicate for each sample. Data are reported as the means ± SD. compared with the vehicle-treated group. TMA, trimethylamine; EESJ, 70% ethanol extract of S. japonica; GC-MS, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
