呼吸测试通过检测与细菌有关的化合物,可以显示肠道健康,并提供一种非侵入性的替代工具,以取代凳子测试。 Breath tests may reveal gut health by detecting bacteria-linked compounds, offering a non-invasive alternative to stool tests.

一项新的研究发现,吸入的呼吸含有与特定直肠细菌相关的挥发性代谢物,包括与哮喘有关的代谢物,这表明呼吸分析可能非侵入性地揭示肠内微生物的健康状况。 A new study finds that exhaled breath contains volatile metabolites linked to specific gut bacteria, including one associated with asthma, suggesting breath analysis could non-invasively reveal gut microbiome health. 来自圣路易斯华盛顿大学的研究人员分析了小鼠和41名儿童的呼吸样本,确定了呼吸化合物与肠道微生物之间的关系。 Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis analyzed breath samples from mice and 41 children, identifying correlations between breath compounds and gut microbes. 这种方法可以提供更简单、更快的替代方法,取代对受直肠细菌影响的条件进行诊断的凳子测试,尽管还需要进一步研究才能充分理解复杂的相互作用。 The approach could offer a simpler, faster alternative to stool testing for diagnosing conditions influenced by gut bacteria, though further research is needed to fully understand the complex interactions.
