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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTPncwxh3i
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02zWAQmoHZ
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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3AcQRalwn
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9DBVRox3z
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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdggpoq5xZ

（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2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTWelpIN2m
(Apocrine Sweat Glands)2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LTMluRY2l

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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSNBiYXAvY
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpARHfgNI4
外分泌汗腺的主要功能就是散發汗水幫助散熱，調節體溫。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkKGi2MBmb
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMvQdyRFXO
而大汗腺的主要功能，到目前為止仍未能搞得清楚。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkkWSGtrG

（圖2）下列三點為文中所找出的異味散發機制。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz1a9Bf9iF
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAitc5vyEF
1.大汗腺釋出無味物質Cys-Gly-3M3SH。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Ig4oiiiT
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHqtymMBvd
2.腋下某品種的葡萄球菌消化Cys-Gly-3M3SH。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmha52MjNxH
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU66OgM5FtA
3. 葡萄球菌消化過後，吐出帶有異味的3M3SH。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGedDi6KfR
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS070ID3mP
換句話說，腋下的異味就是由這些細菌引致而成的。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVUZbAiEdU

（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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICoy3uG56J
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXRnUWZhGW
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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmH7Eef5J
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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4BBY9ffRr
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVIB9v4IMv
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；2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T994b4NGM
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XolFhnTs
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。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcpFe31rN
2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouaH9PlWaB
而臭狐是否由這細菌引起或有份參與，文中並沒有提及。2085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYtPAYwJH
