Beta-glucuronidase

Beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme produced by certain gut bacteria that can break the bond between glucuronic acid and various toxins, hormones, or drugs that have been prepared for elimination by the liver. Elevated beta-glucuronidase activity in the stool may indicate microbial imbalance and can interfere with detoxification by reactivating substances like estrogen and xenobiotics in the colon. This reactivation may contribute to systemic toxicity or hormonal imbalances. Measuring beta-glucuronidase in stool helps assess microbial metabolism and detoxification efficiency in the gut.

Description

What is beta-glucuronidase?

It is an enzyme produced by specific gut bacteria that can undo the detoxification process by breaking the bond between toxins and glucuronic acid.

Why is beta-glucuronidase measured in stool?

To assess how gut microbes might be influencing the body’s capacity to eliminate hormones, drugs, and toxins.

What does a high beta-glucuronidase level indicate?

It may indicate a microbial imbalance and a risk of reactivating harmful substances in the gut.

Can elevated beta-glucuronidase levels impact hormone balance?

Yes, especially oestrogen, since the enzyme can release it back into circulation from the gut.

What factors can influence beta-glucuronidase activity?

Gut microbial composition, diet, toxin exposure, and certain medications can influence enzyme levels.
