Average daily excretion of Indican in urine of 42 healthy elderly men, av. age 69.9 +/- 5.0 years, (60 observations) was 60.7 +/- 17.4 mg/24 hrs. This is slightly higher than reported values for younger subjects. Average ethereal S elimination by Indian subjects has varied from 72-150 mg/day. Indican is the chief ethereal S eliminated in urine. Other forms of S excreted by elderly subjects were: Inorganic S 720 +/- 150 mg; Ethereal S 74 +/- 22 mg. Indican in them was 53.8 +/- 17.4 mg. This shows that the remaining 20 mg or about 1/4 of the ethereal S is eliminated in urine in other forms. Relationship with age, diet, common disorders along with findings in literature etc. are discussed.
42名健康老年男性（平均年龄69.9±5.0岁，共60次观察）尿液中吲哚苷的平均日排泄量为60.7±17.4毫克/24小时。这略高于年轻受试者的报告值。印度受试者的平均醚硫排泄量在72 - 150毫克/天之间变化。吲哚苷是尿液中排泄的主要醚硫。老年受试者排泄的其他硫形式为：无机硫720±150毫克；醚硫74±22毫克。其中吲哚苷为53.8±17.4毫克。这表明其余20毫克或约四分之一的醚硫以其他形式经尿液排泄。文中讨论了与年龄、饮食、常见疾病以及文献中的研究结果等的关系。
