NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) a new potential supportive drug

Collegues from the research field of alcoholism had a first succes in lowering the negative tight junction effect of acetaldehyde which seems to be one of the major malregulation factors in Bromhidrosis with TSH+.

They used NAC successfully  in CaCo-2 cell tests.

NAC is widely available as Supplement.

  1. Can you please suggest the daily dose for NAC intake? Is 1500mg per day fine?

Glutamine and Glutamate seems to increase butyrate production in the large intestinal tract

Glutamine and its counterpart glutamate seems to increase the butyrate production in the intestinal tract. Butyrates show a biting or pungeant, light sweat like smell. This strengthens the view that the tight junction sealing is dominated by metabolite pathways that present in one or the other way highly smelling chemical compounds the body is forced to absorb to counter regulate its deregulated energy metabolism in the intestinal tract .

Candida pathogenesis in Bromhidrosis

Our observation was that bromhidrosis patients reported slight elevated candida sp. levels in combination mit reduced enterococcus sp. in stool analysis results. The current metabolism impact for bromhidrosis seems to be sourced in a deficient acetate or propionate degrading enzyme which is part of the major ethanol degradation. The biosynthesis of ethanol is mostly based on candida sp., so we investigated into the pathogenesis of candida. The following pictures show the resulting disease model. In the case of an deficiency in the ethanol degradation pathway, the immune system shows a weakness regarding the candida sp., which shifts the microbiome towards increased candida occurence and activity. This would lead to small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO) symptoms 

The fecal body odor smell type

As stated in an earlier post, the most prominent reported smell type for TMAU2 patients was the fecal smell type. But not only TMAU positive patients reported such a type of smell, another body odor sufferer type do show the same fecal body odor pattern. Interestingly nearly all of those non TMAU patients report having Irritable Bowel Syndrom (IBS) as well. We took a closer look into the combined bacterial and human metabolism. The central chemical compound involved in the fecal smell seems to be indole. Indole is produced within the bacterial metabolism as a precursor of tryptophan. As major source the bacteria use glycolysis based on sugar, carbohydrates, ... To let the bacteria produce too much indole we found certain criteria: - Tryptophan absorption of the intestinal cells is lower than the serine and glycine absorption - Histidine malabsorption is present - Tyrosine malabsorption is present Why do TMAU2 patients now show a fecal smell, don't they have a choline and ...
