  • - The study investigates the potential of MB-102, a new fluorophore, as an alternative to the traditional dual sugar absorption test for measuring gut permeability in patients with Crohn's disease and healthy adults.
  • - Participants were randomly assigned to receive either MB-102 or a combination of lactulose and rhamnose, with urine collected over several hours to analyze recovery rates.
  • - Results showed that MB-102's urinary recovery correlated strongly with lactulose recovery, indicating that it could serve as a reliable method for assessing gastrointestinal permeability.
