However, when
intestinal microbial imbalances exist (e.g.: an overgrowth or infestation of harmful bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and / or fungus), an increase in the activity of the enzyme beta - glucuronidase can occur.
In addition to illustrating the experimental role of a sucralose - maltodextrin based artificial sweetener in promoting
intestinal dysbiosis [a
microbial imbalance] and myeloperoxidase activity, the studies indicate that it might be possible to measure Proteobacteria and myeloperoxidase as simultaneous fecal biomarkers in patients to monitor their gut (disease / health) adjustment to their diets.
