Evaluation of GI function from expired CO2 after oral C-putrescine

Putrescine?? Doesn’t sound too pleasant, does it? This substance is a result of the degradation of animal proteins in the GI tract. This study uses the idea that healthy cells of the intestine can break down putrescine and we can check for the by products of this breakdown. Even more important is the question that, if the cells lining the GI tract are not healthy the putrescine doesn’t get broken down and actually can begin to rot (hence the name…). A strong digestive system is also very, very important in braking this stuff down.
