2013, Materials Chemistry and PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Spirometry [8], pH based biosensor [9] and BODE index [10] are some of the methods used to measure tributyrin in blood. However, it has now been established that spirometry has several technical limitations such as instrument variation and low signal-to-noise ratio [11]. Similarly BODE index also shows lack of consistency in the identification of COPD gene expression biomarkers to distinguish subtypes [12].
