一项使用大鼠粪便悬浮液进行的维生素B1代谢研究显示，维生素B1消耗显著激活了维生素B1代谢，维生素B1消耗显著提高了某些大鼠（应答者）的维生素B1代谢，但在其他大鼠（无应答者）中则不然。由于肠道微生物菌群被认为是反应者和非反应者之间的差异的原因，因此试图通过调查长期消费和禁食对Escherin代谢的影响来确定与Escherin消费反应相关的因素。结果表明，长期服用维生素A和禁食导致无应答。老鼠成为反应者。由于禁食是对摄入维生素D的反应中最重要的因素，因此禁食似乎是维生素D肠道代谢的主要促进因素之一。鉴于这种非侵入性和方便的代谢研究可以确定前体药物（如Escherin）的代谢，该技术也可用于识别草药和中药的反应者。此外，通过比较尿钾和血压，研究了对摄入维生素E的反应与假性醛固酮增多症之间的关系，但在反应者和无反应者之间观察到这些参数无显著差异。

A study of glycyrrhizin metabolism using rat fecal suspensions showed that glycyrrhizin consumption significantly activated glycyrrhizin metabolism, with glycyrrhizin consumption significantly elevating glycyrrhizin metabolism in some rats (responders) but not in others (nonresponders). Since intestinal microflora are believed to be responsible for the difference between responders and nonresponders, an attempt was made to identify those factors associated with the response to glycyrrhizin consumption by investigating the effects of long-term consumption and fasting on glycyrrhizin metabolism. The results showed that long-term glycyrrhizin consumption and fasting caused nonresponder. rats to become responders. Since fasting was the most significant factor in the response to glycyrrhizin consumption, fasting appears to be one of the major facilitators of intestinal metabolism of glycyrrhizin. Given that this noninvasive and convenient metabolic study could ascertain the metabolism of prodrugs such as glycyrrhizin, the technique could also be useful for identifying responders to herbal and Chinese medicines. Furthermore, the relationship between the response to glycyrrhizin consumption and pseudoaldosteronism was investigated by comparing urinary potassium and blood pressure, but no significant differences in these parameters were observed between responders and nonresponders.
