Expression as mean with standard deviation (SD), absolute reduction and percentage as well as p-value of the ascending colon of the healthy control group (C) separated by age group. Pediatric (P); adult (A). cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), 3-mercapto-sulfurtransferase (3-MST), ethylmalonic encephalopathy 1 protein (ETHE1), sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR) and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST). * = p-value < 0.05.
