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

他们认为化合维素E醋酸酯是" 的罪魁祸首。"

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

因此，醋酸酯这种化学质在这些动的大肠内积累起来。

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

该位置指向肠道细菌，这种细菌醋酸酯，是潜在的罪魁祸首。

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

食用高脂饮食的小鼠，其体内肠道细菌以醋酸酯。醋酸酯的作用是什么？

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素E醋酸酯。

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

因此，研究人员用抗素或简单的理盐水来消灭微。这同时也使醋酸酯浓度下降。
