Gut check: new test could spot leaky gut easier

NCT ID NCT07066176

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study tested a new way to measure intestinal permeability, or 'leaky gut,' in 10 healthy adults. Participants took aspirin and a mixed meal, then provided urine and blood samples. The goal was to see if these samples could reliably detect gut barrier function, which could help future nutrition and metabolic health research.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aspirin
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simpler, more reliable test for gut health in nutrition and metabolic studies.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-stage study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The test is still experimental.
