Most indican excreted in the urine comes from the degradation of tryptophan through the action of microorganisms dwelling within the intestinal lumen. Based on this knowledge, the excretion of this compound was investigated during the recovery process of 19 malnourished infants; thus, attempts were made to recognize indirectly whether quantitative modifications take place in the intestinal flora as the state of nutrition is re-established. The results do not suggest the presence of an important variation of the bacterial content within the intestine of these children, at least during the first four weeks of their recovery.
尿液中排出的大部分吲哚苷来自色氨酸通过肠腔内微生物的作用而发生的降解。基于这一认识，对19名营养不良婴儿恢复过程中该化合物的排泄情况进行了研究；因此，试图间接识别随着营养状况的恢复，肠道菌群是否发生了数量变化。结果表明，至少在这些儿童恢复的前四周内，其肠道内细菌含量没有明显变化。
