如果測量一個人的細胞數量,事實上只有25%是屬於人體細胞,其餘的75%均由細菌及真菌所據。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAxBaqwdfVsP
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAFXOzAknY4G
細菌及真菌可以說是「無處不在」,它們不但寄宿於我們的皮膚外層,亦同時駐紮在我們身體內的腸道及各器官部位,與我們成呈共生關係。1714Please respect copyright.PENANA9sopDuxgBZ
1714Please respect copyright.PENANADFmvxk7c2u
最近有科學家發表學術文章(Ref1),講述位於汗腺附近的細菌就是腋下異味的其中一個元兇。1714Please respect copyright.PENANA0FJygihpIn

(圖1)我們身體的肝腺大致分為兩種,外分泌汗腺(Eccrine Sweat Glands)及大汗腺1714Please respect copyright.PENANAIGoa4CAqbF
(Apocrine Sweat Glands)1714Please respect copyright.PENANAip7YfO1Snz
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAOaeMatoz3x
前者接近遍佈全身,不與毛髮連接。後者主要位於腋下、乳頭及私處部位,與毛髮連接。1714Please respect copyright.PENANALtMkcmR6vn
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAzkbnJfDbIS
外分泌汗腺的主要功能就是散發汗水幫助散熱,調節體溫。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAaTwFlVCPZ5
1714Please respect copyright.PENANA7tOhpTPWhW
而大汗腺的主要功能,到目前為止仍未能搞得清楚。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAlYTKBALlRy

(圖2)下列三點為文中所找出的異味散發機制。1714Please respect copyright.PENANACsGVboZ2NF
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAEFZRGZ7Pi5
1.大汗腺釋出無味物質Cys-Gly-3M3SH。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAIk7PPxtaJV
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkzyJHGxs
2.腋下某品種的葡萄球菌消化Cys-Gly-3M3SH。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAAhhhzPaIH4
1714Please respect copyright.PENANA4nqtvDRAn6
3. 葡萄球菌消化過後,吐出帶有異味的3M3SH。1714Please respect copyright.PENANALA0bjnLv9H
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAPb0tTKkuNh
換句話說,腋下的異味就是由這些細菌引致而成的。1714Please respect copyright.PENANA2i5rjvZ6C7

(圖3)為作進一步的證實,科學家利用黃金葡萄球菌作對照實驗。1714Please respect copyright.PENANA6HlACWTsi1
1714Please respect copyright.PENANA0nElSKD6QR
他們發現人葡萄球菌的近親黃金葡萄球菌並沒能夠將無味的Cys-Gly-3M3SH消化成為帶有異味的3M3SH。1714Please respect copyright.PENANA5AjLFCZ6Iu
但是,當把人葡萄球菌其中一隻酵素轉移到黃金葡萄球菌後,無味的Cys-Gly-3M3SH便能夠被消化成為帶有異味的3M3SH,證實異味是由那隻酵素所致。1714Please respect copyright.PENANArm2dtcmv0Z
1714Please respect copyright.PENANASCm5T1uGNH
這隻酵素一直以來並沒有被前人發現,亦即是說,只要能夠研發出抑制那隻酵素的止汗劑的話,腋下的大部份異味亦能得以除去;1714Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ram6Abz9V
1714Please respect copyright.PENANALM9LcidlDK
異味的產生,基本上是由硫醇(Thioalcohol)及脂肪酸(Fatty acid)而成。此文章所談及的機制純屬與硫醇的產生有關,沒有觸及脂肪酸那一方面。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAccjXPAlExj
1714Please respect copyright.PENANAIdVovo9s5y
而臭狐是否由這細菌引起或有份參與,文中並沒有提及。1714Please respect copyright.PENANAMhF60czVSM
