Abstract

The production of odorous urine after the ingestion of asparagus has been shown to occur in 43% of 800 volunteers investigated. This characteristic is reproducible over a 12-month-period and has been shown to remain with individuals for virtually a lifetime. Family studies suggest that the ability to produce the odorous urine is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

摘要

在对800名志愿者的调查中，有43%的人在摄入芦笋后会产生有气味的尿液。这种特征在12个月内可重现，并且已证明会伴随个体几乎一生。家族研究表明，产生有气味尿液的能力作为常染色体显性性状遗传。
