Urinary Excretion of Pyruvic Acid, α-Ketoglutaric Acid, and Oxaloacetic Acid in Scurvy

Urinary excretion of pyruvic acid, alpha-ketoglutaric acid and oxaloacetic acid in scurvy.

Scurvy is associated with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and diminished production of insulin (1). Banerjee et al. (2) observed increased accumulation of citrate, malate, and lactate in the tissues of scorbutic guinea pigs. This was possibly due to the insulin insufficiency associated with scurvy since prolonged injection of insulin to scorbutic guinea pigs diminished the tissue concentration...

Urinary hippuric acid and orthocresol excretion in

ABSTRACr It is not known whether urinary excretion of hippuric acid (HA) or orthocresol (0-Cr) is to be preferred for the biological monitoring of workers with occupational exposure to toluene. To study this, 42 printing trade workers with more than 10 years' exposure to a mixture of organic solvents including toluene (0-20 ppm) and 43 control subjects matched by age, smoking habits, and living...
