The effect of exercise on renal function has been the target of numerous research projects, many of which have recently been reviewed by Herlitzka (1). It is generally agreed that exercise exerts an antidiuretic effect, that it depresses urea clearance, and that it increases the specific gravity of the urine. With the introduction of diodrast and of para-amino hippuric acid it became possible t...

BACKGROUND A new simple preparation method for a hippurate-intercalated zinc-layered hydroxide (ZLH) nanohybrid has been established, which does not need an anion-exchange procedure to intercalate the hippurate anion into ZLH interlayers. METHODS The hippuric acid nanohybrid (HAN) was prepared by direct reaction of an aqueous suspension of zinc oxide with a solution of hippuric acid via a one...

A gas-liquid chromatography technique which allows simultaneous detection of hippuric acid (N-benzoylglycine) hydrolysis and conversion of fumaric acid to succinic acid by microorganisms uses a new medium, hippurate-formate-fumarate broth, and a gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. This technique gave more reproducible results than other tests used in the study for d...

The determination of individual amino acids in body fluids under pathological and experimental conditions should permit extension of information farther than is possible wit.h procedures that measure amino acids collectively. We are reporting some observations upon experimentally produced changes in the concentrations of glycine and alanine, as measured by chemical methods (1, 2) which are spec...
