Analysis of markers in fecal samples

The analysis of markers in feces is conducted along with their metabolites, all are integrated over a longer period. These comprehensive analyses provide insights into various physiological processes and are important for understanding social structures, environmental influences, and reproductive processes. Additionally, they allow for the determination of life-event phases as well as the effects of prenatal and postnatal stressors.

 

Examples of analyzed markers

* In feces, the specific marker as well as its non-specific metabolites are measured.
