Urinary Organic Metabolites
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Studies of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques carried out in 1994 on human clinical samples had already suggested a “potential for diagnosis and studies of metabolism in situ” . Researchers found that, when this technique is applied to blood or urine, it gives an insight into the infected host microbial metabolism . A more recent study (2002) on urinary organic metabolites, published in Xenobiotic, most convincingly provides evidence that the level of several urinary metabolites can be affected by differences in the metabolic capability of the intestinal microflora .

A Description of Reference Ranges for Organic Acids in Urine Samples from A Pediatric Population in Iran
Background: Organic acids refer to a family of compounds that are intermediates in a variety of metabolic pathways. Many organic acids are present in urine from clinically normal individuals. Elevated levels of urine organic acids cause to the organic acidurias, disorders in which some metabolic pathways in organic acid metabolism are blocked. The present work identified major and minor urinary...
متن کاملVolatile Organic Metabolites Identify Patients with Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis, IgA Nephropathy and Normal Controls
Urinary volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis for kidney diseases has attracted a large amount of scientific interest recently, and urinary metabolite analysis has already been applied to many diseases. Urine was collected from 15 mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) patients, 21 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients and 15 healthy controls. Solid phase microextraction-chromatograp...
متن کاملQuantitative determination of urinary metabolites in subjects exposed to organic solvents.
Most of the common organic solvents are excreted into urine as metabolites. A correlation exists for several organic solvents between the amount taken in and the amount of metabolites excreted. Many methods have been developed for the measurement of these urinary metabolites. The methods were classified into three group: colorimetry, gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography...
متن کاملUrinary concentrations of PAH and VOC metabolites in marijuana users.
BACKGROUND Marijuana is seeing increased therapeutic use, and is the world's third most-popular recreational drug following alcohol and tobacco. This widening use poses increased exposure to potentially toxic combustion by-products from marijuana smoke and the potential for public health concerns. OBJECTIVES To compare urinary metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatil...
متن کاملOrganic Diets Significantly Lower Children’s Dietary Exposure to Organophosphorus Pesticides
We used a novel study design to measure dietary organophosphorus pesticide exposure in a group of 23 elementary school-age children through urinary biomonitoring. We substituted most of children's conventional diets with organic food items for 5 consecutive days and collected two spot daily urine samples, first-morning and before-bedtime voids, throughout the 15-day study period. We found that ...
