Breath methane and hydrogen, plasma acetate, serum selenium, vitamin A and beta-carotene were measured in 47 patients from whom colonic polyps had been removed by endoscopic polypectomy between 3 months and 2 years previously. Patients were compared with 39 control subjects in whom no abnormality was detected during colonoscopy. The proportion of methane exhalers was significantly (p less than 0.0005) higher in patients after polypectomy (66.0%) than in controls (28.2%). Mean plasma acetate was lower (p less than 0.025) in post-polypectomy patients (70.5 microM) than in control subjects (97.1 microM) while breath hydrogen was similar in both groups. The serum concentrations of the antioxidants selenium and beta-carotene showed no differences between the groups whereas vitamin A was higher (p less than 0.01) in serum samples of patients after polypectomy than of controls. These findings indicate that the colonic environment in post-polypectomy patients exhibits certain characteristics which may be related to the formation of benign tumors and possibly colon cancer.
