We measured urinary hippuric acid by spectrophotometry in all subjects to prove exposure to toluene. |
|
This led to the discovery of a natural metabolic process that combines sodium benzoate with glycine to produce hippuric acid. |
|
Urinary metabolites which have been measured include phenol, trichloroacetic acid, hippuric acid, and methyl hippuric acid. |
|
For hippuric acid, we compared creatinine in urine and basic parameters of the two groups. |
|
Some HPLC peaks were identified, such as creatinine, uric acid, hypoxanthine, indoxyl sulphate and hippuric acid. |
|
A major part of the toluene is metabolized in the liver, converted into hippuric acid and excreted in urine. |
|
Among these were hippuric acid, homovanillic acid, uracil, 5-fluorouracil, and tryptophan. |
|
Rarely appreciated in earlier studies is the fact that gastrointestinal microflora are efficient metabolizers of QA to hippuric acid or aromatic amino acids. |
|
Incidentally, benzoic acid is converted in the body to hippuric acid, which is discharged in the urine and protects against urinary tract infections. |
|
The artificial urines contained only urea and glucose, whereas the cow urine contains a more complex mixture of C compounds including hippuric acid. |
