Abstract:IntroductionDiagnosing a concussion is challenging because of complex and variable symptoms. Establishing a viable biomarker of injury may rely on physiologic measurements rather than symptomology. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as breath acetone have been identified as potential physiological markers that can capture changes in the utilization of energy substrates post-concussion. Here, we aimed to explore whether differences in VOCs exist between concussed and non-concussed athletes at the initial an… Show more
