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

他们认为化合维E酸酯" 非常可能的罪魁祸首。"

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

因此，酸酯这种化学质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，这种细菌能产酸酯，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，其体内肠道细菌可以产酸酯。酸酯的作用什么？

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

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E酸酯。

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

因此，研究人员用抗或简单的理盐水来消灭微。这同时也使酸酯浓度下降。
