Are there ethnic differences in the serum concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole in adolescents with obesity?

Label:chem

Topic
A study analyzed correlations between gut-derived Trp metabolites and ethnicity in adolescents with obesity.
Answer
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole were higher in Hispanics compared to non-Hispanics (IAA: Hispanic 512.5 ± 180.6 ng/mL vs. non-Hispanic 474.1 ± 466.2 ng/mL, p = 0.0346; indole: Hispanic 2.9 ± 0.1 ng/mL vs. non-Hispanic 1.5 ± 0.7 ng/mL, p = 0.0179).
