The production of p-cresol sulfate and indoxyl sulfate in vegetarians versus omnivores
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The uremic solutes p-cresol sulfate (PCS) and indoxyl sulfate (IS) are generated by colon bacteria acting on food components that escape absorption in the small bowel. The production of these potentially toxic compounds may thus be influenced by diet. This study examined whether production of PCS and IS is different in vegetarians and omnivores. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: The production of PCS and IS was assessed by measuring their urinary excretion rates in participants with normal kidney function. Studies were carried out in 15 vegetarians and 11 individuals consuming an unrestricted diet. Participants recorded food intake over 4 days and collected urine over the final 2 days of each of two study periods, which were 1 month apart. RESULTS: Average PCS excretion was 62% lower (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 15-83) and average IS excretion was 58% lower (95% CI, 39-71) in vegetarians than in participants consuming an unrestricted diet. Food records revealed that lower excretion of PCS and IS in vegetarians was associated with a 69% higher (95% CI, 20-139) fiber intake and a 25% lower (95% CI, 3-42) protein intake. PCS and IS excretion rates varied widely among individual participants and were not closely correlated with each other but tended to remain stable in individual participants over 1 month. CONCLUSIONS: PCS and IS production rates are markedly lower in vegetarians than in individuals consuming an unrestricted diet.

A reduced excretion of faecal phenols was observed after a 3-week high-resistant starch diet, and lower production of p-cresol sulfate and indoxyl sulfate was found in vegetarians.
“Accordingly, a reduced excretion of faecal phenols was observed following a 3-week high-resistant starch diet, 59 while a significantly lower production of p-cresol sulfate and indoxyl sulfate were found in vegetarians.60”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
