科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–腋下異味的來源

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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBMklEAUyd
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1iVUOMyGl
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PlE5VA9QC
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTcAxPZiUP
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRMQajTTII

（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2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnwDDBhrWD
(Apocrine Sweat Glands)2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ360oVBN0
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoceDLLJmBd
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtPF7DtwiM
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhXl6Atex9
外分泌汗腺的主要功能就是散發汗水幫助散熱，調節體溫。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IFWTS8zGN
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5h5pUWUXC
而大汗腺的主要功能，到目前為止仍未能搞得清楚。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL7KoVudrX

（圖2）下列三點為文中所找出的異味散發機制。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwO7JJatB0
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ndaQgHwuD
1.大汗腺釋出無味物質Cys-Gly-3M3SH。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGIMNw8SLz
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKTxmUjyQq
2.腋下某品種的葡萄球菌消化Cys-Gly-3M3SH。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwLR4xPQhl
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r0knlEHW5
3. 葡萄球菌消化過後，吐出帶有異味的3M3SH。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjPx6QSIQh
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2TFk1UI5F
換句話說，腋下的異味就是由這些細菌引致而成的。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWFnfWYgF

（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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aY7xBZyXh
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNF8WXv4b
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOtOMpY6f
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTvwSPI30l
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJ9fURily
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；2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnPdLEUGX8
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXz6HPihrS
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。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBIp1GuVE3
2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5giJoBajtc
而臭狐是否由這細菌引起或有份參與，文中並沒有提及。2113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrHPPzGHsg
