HUMAN URINARY KININ EXCRETION

Excretion of Urinary Kinin in Man.

In 1952, Beraldo1) discovered an active polypeptide in dog urine, and designated it Substance U. Two years later, Werle and Erdos2) reported the presence of similar principle in human urine under the name of Substance Z. Thereafter, the urinary substance has been investigated by several authors3-8) to characterize its pharmacological and biochemical properties. It has been found by these invest...

Urinary growth hormone excretion.

Urinary methylmalonic acid excretion.

Urinary glucocorticoid excretion.

In recent years two comparatively simple methods have been described for the assessment of urinary glucocorticoid excretion. Reddy, Jenkins, and Thorn in 1952 gave details of a method for estimating urinary " 17-hydroxycorticoids." This involved extraction of the urinary glucocorticoids (cortisone and hydrocortisone) and their metabolites with n-butyl alcohol and the use of the Porter-Silber co...

Urinary Adiponectin Excretion

OBJECTIVE Markers reliably identifying vascular damage and risk in diabetic patients are rare, and reports on associations of serum adiponectin with macrovascular disease have been inconsistent. In contrast to existing data on serum adiponectin, this study assesses whether urinary adiponectin excretion might represent a more consistent vascular damage marker in type 2 diabetes.
