Okay, so the gut bacteria in fat-fed mice make acetate. What does acetate do?

用高的小鼠，其体内肠道细菌可以产生。的作用是什么？

The animals experienced a buildup of a chemical called acetate, particularly in the large intestine.

因，这种化学物质在这些动物的大肠内积累起来。

They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate as a very strong culprit.

他们认为化合物维生素E是" 非常可能的罪魁祸首。"

That location points to gut bacteria, which can produce acetate, as a possible culprit.

该位置指向肠道细菌，这种细菌能产生，是潜在的罪魁祸首。

In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices.

在其他研究中，电子烟和其他电子烟设备的液体中也发现了维生素E。

So the researchers wiped out the microbes using antibiotics or a simple saline wash. And acetate levels plummeted.

因，研究人员用抗生素或简单的生理盐水来消灭微生物。这同时也使浓度下降。
