Gut microflora (GM) impacts human health in various ways, both beneficial and detrimental. Recently, it has attracted attention for its application in treatment, as protective agents, and as biomarkers in radiation exposure. In this study, we focused on organic acids that have not yet been reported to be related to radiation exposure; we measured the pH and organic acid content in the faeces of 0, 2, 4 and 8 Gy-irradiated mice. A common trend of fluctuation of some organic acids was observed in each group, suggesting a correlation between radiation exposure and organic acid fluctuation. Lactate fluctuation was similar between 0 and 2 Gy-, and 4 and 8 Gy-irradiated mice. Based on this finding, we suggest that lactate may also be an organic acid that is greatly affected by irradiation.
