Abstract

Abstract Aim: The aim of the study was to study the level of butyric acid in tongue cancer subjects. Materials and Methods: Thirty controls and 30 tongue cancer subjects were recruited for the study. Serum butyric acid levels were estimated using ELISA kits. Statistical analyses were done using SPSS vs 22. The Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used. P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Butyric acid levels were significantly higher in control subjects when compared to case subjects.
