Abstract
Conclusion
Dealing first with normal (control) urines, the amount of glucuronic acid in 24-hour samples varied from 350-650 nig, with an occasional lower or higher figure. These results agree well with those obtained by Maughan, Evelyn, and Browne 5 and by Roe and Hall. 7 Next, with regard to the effect of ingesting 5 g of phenylacetic acid, we find that this results in an average increase of 535 mg, an amount which corresponds to a detoxication by glucuronic acid of 7.5% of the phenylacetic acid ingested.
