Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aspirin is known for its therapeutic benefits in preventing strokes and relieving pain. However, it is toxic to some individuals, and the biological mechanisms causing toxicity are unknown. Limited literature is available on the role of glycine conjugation as the principal pathway in aspirin detoxification. Previous studies have quantified this two-step enzyme reaction as a singular enzymatic process. Consequently, the individual contributions of these enzymes to the kinetics remain unclear. AREAS COVERED This review summarized the available information on the pharmacokinetics and detoxification of aspirin by the glycine conjugation pathway. Literature searches were conducted using Google Scholar and the academic journal databases accessible through the North-West University Library. Furthermore, the factors affecting interindividual variation in aspirin metabolism and what is known regarding aspirin toxicity were discussed. EXPERT OPINION The greatest drawback in understanding the pharmacokinetics of aspirin is the limited information available on the substrate preference of the xenobiotic ligase (ACSM) responsible for activating salicylate to salicyl-CoA. Furthermore, previous pharmacokinetic studies did not consider the contribution of other substrates from the diet or genetic variants, to the detoxification rate of glycine conjugation. Impaired glycine conjugation might contribute to adverse health effects seen in Reye's syndrome and cancer.

Abstract
ω-Phenyl-alkenoic acids are abundant in coffee, fruits, and vegetables. Along with ω-phenyl-alkanoic acids, they are produced from numerous dietary (poly)phenols and aromatic amino acids in vivo. This review addresses how phenyl-ring substitution and flux modulates their gut microbiota and endogenous β-oxidation. 3',5'-Dihydroxy-derivatives (from alkyl-resorcinols, flavanols, proanthocyanidins), and 4'-hydroxy-phenolic acids (from tyrosine, p-coumaric acid, naringenin) are β-oxidation substrates yielding benzoic acids. In contrast, 3',4',5'-tri-substituted-derivatives, 3',4'-dihydroxy-derivatives and 3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-derivatives (from coffee, tea, cereals, many fruits and vegetables) are poor β-oxidation substrates with metabolism diverted via gut microbiota dehydroxylation, phenylvalerolactone formation and phase-2 conjugation, possibly a strategy to conserve limited pools of coenzyme A. 4'-Methoxy-derivatives (citrus fruits) or 3',4'-dimethoxy-derivatives (coffee) are susceptible to hepatic "reverse" hydrogenation suggesting incompatibility with enoyl-CoA-hydratase. Gut microbiota-produced 3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-derivatives (citrus fruits) and 3'-hydroxy-derivatives (numerous (poly)phenols) are excreted as the phenyl-hydracrylic acid β-oxidation intermediate suggesting incompatibility with hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, albeit with considerable inter-individual variation. Further investigation is required to explain inter-individual variation, factors determining the amino acid to which C6-C3 and C6-C1 metabolites are conjugated, the precise role(s) of l-carnitine, whether glycine might be limiting, and whether phenolic acid-modulation of β-oxidation explains how phenolic acids affect key metabolic conditions, such as fatty liver, carbohydrate metabolism and insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity occurs partly due to consumption of a high-fat, high-sugar and low fiber diet and is associated with an altered gut microbiome. Prebiotic supplementation can reverse obesity and beneficially alter the gut microbiome, evidenced by previous studies in rodents. However, the role of the small intestinal metabolome in obese and prebiotic supplemented rodents has never been investigated. OBJECTIVES To investigate and compare the small intestinal metabolome of healthy and obese rats, as well as obese rats supplemented with the prebiotic oligofructose (OFS). METHODS Untargeted metabolomics was performed on small intestinal contents of healthy chow-fed, high fat diet-induced obese, and obese rats supplemented with oligofructose using UPLC-MS/MS. Quantification of enterohepatic bile acids was performed with UPLC-MS to determine specific effects of obesity and fiber supplementation on the bile acid pool composition. RESULTS The small intestinal metabolome of obese rats was distinct from healthy rats. OFS supplementation did not significantly alter the small intestinal metabolome but did alter levels of several metabolites compared to obese rats, including bile acid metabolites, amino acid metabolites, and metabolites related to the gut microbiota. Further, obese rats had lower total bile acids and increased taurine-conjugated bile acid species in enterohepatic circulation; this effect was reversed with OFS supplementation in high fat-feeding. CONCLUSION Obesity is associated with a distinct small intestinal metabolome, and OFS supplementation reverses some metabolite levels that were altered in obese rats. Future research into the effects of specific metabolites identified in this study will provide deeper insight into the mechanism of fiber supplementation on improved body weight.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Activation of fatty acids by the acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSs) is the vital first step in fatty acid metabolism. The enzymatic and physiological characterization of the human xenobiotic/medium chain fatty acid: CoA ligases (ACSMs) has been severely neglected even though xenobiotics, such as benzoate and salicylate, are detoxified through this pathway. AREAS COVERED This review will focus on the nomenclature and substrate specificity of the human ACSM ligases; the biochemical and enzymatic characterization of ACSM1 and ACSM2B; the high sequence homology of the ACSM2 genes (ACSM2A and ACSM2B) as well as what is currently known regarding disease association studies. EXPERT OPINION Several discrepancies exist in the current literature that should be taken note of. For example, the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported to be associated with aspirin metabolism and multiple risk factors of metabolic syndrome are incorrect. Kinetic data on the substrate specificity of the human ACSM ligases are non-existent and currently no data exist on the influence of SNPs on the enzyme activity of these ligases. One of the biggest obstacles currently in the field is that glycine conjugation is continuously studied as a one-step process, which means that key regulatory factors of the two individual steps remain unknown.

Abstract
Background: p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) can be used as a probe substance to investigate glycine conjugation, a reaction of phase 2 biotransformation. Methodology/Results: An LC–MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of PABA and its metabolites from human urine was developed and validated. The metabolites can be quantified with acceptable precision and accuracy directly from human urine samples after ingestion of 550 mg PABA. Conclusion: The developed LC–MS/MS assay is to our knowledge the first method available for the simultaneous quantification of PABA and its glycine conjugation metabolites in human urine and provides important quantitative data for studies of this phase 2 biotransformation pathway.

Abstract
A number of endogenous and xenobiotic organic acids are conjugated to glycine, in animals ranging from mosquitoes to humans. Glycine conjugation has generally been assumed to be a detoxification mechanism, increasing the water solubility of organic acids in order to facilitate urinary excretion. However, the recently proposed glycine deportation hypothesis states that the role of the amino acid conjugations, including glycine conjugation, is to regulate systemic levels of amino acids that are also utilized as neurotransmitters in the central nervous systems of animals. This hypothesis is based on the observation that, compared to glucuronidation, glycine conjugation does not significantly increase the water solubility of aromatic acids. In this review it will be argued that the major role of glycine conjugation is to dispose of the end products of phenylpropionate metabolism. Furthermore, glucuronidation, which occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum, would not be ideal for the detoxification of free benzoate, which has been shown to accumulate in the mitochondrial matrix. Glycine conjugation, however, prevents accumulation of benzoic acid in the mitochondrial matrix by forming hippurate, a less lipophilic conjugate that can be more readily transported out of the mitochondria. Finally, it will be explained that the glycine conjugation of benzoate, a commonly used preservative, exacerbates the dietary deficiency of glycine in humans. Because the resulting shortage of glycine can negatively influence brain neurochemistry and the synthesis of collagen, nucleic acids, porphyrins, and other important metabolites, the risks of using benzoate as a preservative should not be underestimated.

Abstract
At present, the clinical significance of existing physicochemical and biological evidence and especially the results we have obtained from our previous in vitro experiments have been analyzed, and we have come to the conclusion that hippuric acid (C6H5CONHCH2COOH) is a very active solvent of Calcium Oxalate (CaOX) in physiological solutions. Two types of experiments have been discussed: clinical laboratory analysis on the urine excretion of hippuric acid (HA) in patients with CaOX lithiasis and detailed measurements of the kinetics of the dissolution of CaOX calculi in artificial urine, containing various concentrations of HA. It turns out that the most probable value of the HA concentration in the control group is approximately ten times higher than the corresponding value in the group of the stone-formers. Our in vitro analytical measurements demonstrate even a possibility to dissolve CaOX stones in human urine, in which increased concentration of HA have been established. A conclusion can be that drowning out HA is a significant regulator of CaOX supersaturation and thus a regulation of CaOX stone formation in human urine. Discussions have arisen to use increased concentration of HA in urine both as a solubilizator of CaOX stones in the urinary tract and on the purpose of a prolonged metaphylactic treatment.

Abstract
The glycine deportation system is an essential component of glycine catabolism in man whereby 400 to 800mg glycine per day are deported into urine as hippuric acid. The molecular escort for this deportation is benzoic acid, which derives from the diet and from gut microbiota metabolism of dietary precursors. Three components of this system, involving hepatic and renal metabolism, and renal active tubular secretion help regulate systemic and central nervous system levels of glycine. When glycine levels are pathologically high, as in congenital nonketotic hyperglycinemia, the glycine deportation system can be upregulated with pharmacological doses of benzoic acid to assist in normalization of glycine homeostasis. In congenital urea cycle enzymopathies, similar activation of the glycine deportation system with benzoic acid is useful for the excretion of excess nitrogen in the form of glycine. Drugs which can substitute for benzoic acid as substrates for the glycine deportation system have adverse reactions that may involve perturbations of glycine homeostasis. The cancer chemotherapeutic agent ifosfamide has an unacceptably high incidence of encephalopathy. This would appear to arise as a result of the production of toxic aldehyde metabolites which deplete ATP production and sequester NADH in the mitochondrial matrix, thereby inhibiting the glycine deportation system and causing de novo glycine synthesis by the glycine cleavage system. We hypothesize that this would result in hyperglycinemia and encephalopathy. This understanding may lead to novel prophylactic strategies for ifosfamide encephalopathy. Thus, the glycine deportation system plays multiple key roles in physiological and neurotoxicological processes involving glycine.

Abstract
The detoxification limitation hypothesis is firmly entrenched in the literature to explain various aspects of the interaction between herbivores and plant toxins. These include explanations for the existence of specialist and generalist herbivores and for the prevalence of each of these. The hypothesis suggests that the ability of mammalian herbivores to eliminate plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) largely determines which plants, and how much, they can eat. The value of the hypothesis is that it provides a clear framework for understanding how plant toxins might limit diet breadth. Thus, it is surprising, given its popularity, that there are few studies that provide experimental support either for or against the detoxification limitation hypothesis. There are two likely reasons for this. First, Freeland and Janzen did not formally propose the hypothesis, although it is implicit in their paper. Second, it is a difficult hypothesis to test, requiring an understanding of the metabolic pathways that lead to toxin elimination. Recent attempts to test the hypothesis appear promising. Results suggest that herbivores can recognize mounting saturation of a detoxification pathway and adjust their feeding accordingly to avoid intoxication. One strategy they use is to ingest a food containing a toxin that is metabolized by a different pathway. This demonstrates that careful selection of food plants is a key to existing in a chemically complex environment. As more studies characterize the detoxification products of PSMs, we will better understand how widespread this phenomenon is.

Abstract
This publication is the eighth in a series of safety evaluations performed by the Expert Panel of the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA). In 1993, the panel initiated a comprehensive program to re-evaluate the safety of more than 1700 GRAS flavoring substances under conditions of intended use. Elements that are fundamental to the safety evaluation of flavor ingredients include exposure, structural analogy, metabolism, pharmacokinetics and toxicology. Flavor ingredients are evaluated individually and in the context of the available scientific information on the group of structurally related substances. Scientific data relevant to the safety evaluation of the use of benzyl derivatives as flavoring ingredients is evaluated. The group of benzyl derivatives was reaffirmed as GRAS (GRASr) based, in part, on their self-limiting properties as flavoring substances in food; their rapid absorption, metabolic detoxication, and excretion in humans and other animals, their low level of flavor use, the wide margins of safety between the conservative estimates of intake and the no-observed-adverse effect levels determined from subchronic and chronic studies and the lack of significant genotoxic and mutagenic potential. This evidence of safety is supported by the fact that the intake of benzyl derivatives as natural components of traditional foods is greater than their intake as intentionally added flavoring substances.

Abstract
Benzyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol used in a wide variety of cosmetic formulations as a fragrance component, preservative, solvent, and viscosity-decreasing agent. Benzoic Acid is an aromatic acid used in a wide variety of cosmetics as a pH adjuster and preservative. Sodium Benzoate is the sodium salt of Benzoic Acid used as a preservative, also in a wide range of cosmetic product types. Benzyl Alcohol is metabolized to Benzoic Acid, which reacts with glycine and excreted as hippuric acid in the human body. Acceptable daily intakes were established by the World Health Organization at 5 mg/kg for Benzyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, and Sodium Benzoate. Benzoic Acid and Sodium Benzoate are generally recognized as safe in foods according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No adverse effects of Benzyl Alcohol were seen in chronic exposure animal studies using rats and mice. Effects of Benzoic Acid and Sodium Benzoate in chronic exposure animal studies were limited to reduced feed intake and reduced growth. Some differences between control and Benzyl Alcohol-treated populations were noted in one reproductive toxicity study using mice, but these were limited to lower maternal body weights and decreased mean litter weights. Another study also noted that fetal weight was decreased compared to controls, but a third study showed no differences between control and Benzyl Alcohol-treated groups. Benzoic Acid was associated with an increased number of resorptions and malformations in hamsters, but there were no reproductive or developmental toxicty findings in studies using mice and rats exposed to Sodium Benzoate, and, likewise, Benzoic Acid was negative in two rat studies. Genotoxicity tests for these ingredients were mostly negative, but there were some assays that were positive. Carcinogenicity studies, however, were negative. Clinical data indicated that these ingredients can produce nonimmunologic contact urticaria and nonimmunologic immediate contact reactions, characterized by the appearance of wheals, erythema, and pruritus. In one study, 5% Benzyl Alcohol elicited a reaction, and in another study, 2% Benzoic Acid did likewise. Benzyl Alcohol, however, was not a sensitizer at 10%, nor was Benzoic Acid a sensitizer at 2%. Recognizing that the nonimmunologic reactions are strictly cutaneous, likely involving a cholinergic mechanism, it was concluded that these ingredients could be used safely at concentrations up to 5%, but that manufacturers should consider the nonimmunologic phenomena when using these ingredients in cosmetic formulations designed for infants and children. Additionally, Benzyl Alcohol was considered safe up to 10% for use in hair dyes. The limited body exposure, the duration of use, and the frequency of use were considered in concluding that the nonimmunologic reactions would not be a concern. Because of the wide variety of product types in which these ingredients may be used, it is likely that inhalation may be a route of exposure. The available safety tests are not considered sufficient to support the safety of these ingredients in formulations where inhalation is a route of exposure. Inhalation toxicity data are needed to complete the safety assessment of these ingredients where inhalation can occur.

Abstract
Multiple, noneliminated references ((51)Cr-labeled erythrocytes, (125)I-albumin, [(14)C]- or [(3)H]sucrose, and [(2)H](2)O), together with [(3)H]hippurate or [(14)C]benzoate, were injected simultaneously into the portal vein of the perfused rat liver during single-pass delivery of benzoate (5-1,000 microM) and hippurate (5 microM) to investigate hippurate formation kinetics and transport. The outflow dilution data best fit a space-distributed model comprising vascular and cellular pools for benzoate and hippurate; there was further need to segregate the cellular pool of benzoate into shallow (cytosolic) and deep (mitochondrial) pools. Fitted values of the membrane permeability-surface area products for sinusoidal entry of unbound benzoate were fast and concentration independent (0.89 +/- 0.17 ml. s(-1). g(-1)) and greatly exceeded the plasma flow rate (0.0169 +/- 0.0018 ml. s(-1). g(-1)), whereas both the influx of benzoate into the deep pool and the formation of hippurate occurring therein appeared to be saturable. Results of the fit to the dilution data suggest rapid uptake of benzoate, with glycination occurring within the deep and not the shallow pool as the rate-determining step.

Abstract
The synthesis of seven aromatic ester derivatives of 1-(2'-hydroxyethyl)-2-ethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one is described. These ester prodrugs have been designed to target iron chelators to the liver, the major iron storage organ. In principle this should improve chelation efficacy and minimize toxicity. The distribution coefficients of these ester prodrugs between 1-octanol and MOPS buffer pH 7.4 were measured together with their rates of hydrolysis at pH 2 and pH 7.4, in rat blood and liver homogenate. Esters with heteroaromatic acid moieties were found to be less stable than benzoyl analogues. The in-vivo iron mobilisation efficacy of these ester prodrugs has been compared with that of the parent drug using a 59Fe-ferritin loaded rat model. Many prodrugs were found to enhance the ability of the parent hydroxypyridinone to facilitate 59Fe excretion. However, not all prodrugs provided increased efficacy, demonstrating that lipophilicity is not the only factor which influences drug efficacy. Furthermore, no clear correlation between efficacy and susceptibility to hydrolysis was detected. The picolinic and nicotinic ester derivatives appear to offer the best potential as prodrugs as they have a relatively low LogP value and yet lead to enhanced efficacy over the parent hydroxypyridinone.

Abstract
When bovine kidney mitochondria were assayed in the presence of Triton X-100, they were found to contain glycine N-acyltransferase activity toward the CoA-adducts of benzoate, butyrate, isovalerate, naphthylacetate, phenylacetate, and salicylate. Heptanoyl-CoA activity was masked by high acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. All activities found in detergent-lysed mitochondria, and also that toward heptanoyl-CoA, could be released in soluble form by repeated cycles of freeze-thawing. Activity in the particle-free lysate decreased in the order: phenylacetyl-CoA > benzoyl-CoA > salicylyl-CoA > butyryl-CoA > naphthylacetyl-CoA > heptanoyl-CoA > isovaleryl-CoA. This is quite different from liver, where the activity toward the arylacetic acids is much lower and the other activities are higher. This reflects a major difference in the relative expression of the aralkyl and arylacetyl transferases between liver and kidney. The phenylacetyl-CoA and naphthylacetyl-CoA activity purified with a single protein which is termed the arylacetyl transferase. This enzyme was similar to the hepatic arylacetyl transferase in terms of its sensitivity to sulfhydryl reagents, response to cations, and molecular weight (33,500). Activity toward benzoyl-CoA also purified as a single form which was similar to the hepatic form in its molecular weight (34,000), response to cations, and kinetic properties. Conditions leading to the inhibition of this kidney form and also the hepatic form by p-mercuribenzoate are described.

Abstract
Plasma concentration-time data for benzoic and hippuric acids and urinary excretion-time data for hippuric acid were analyzed simultaneously after oral doses of 40, 80 or 160 mg/kg sodium benzoate administered at least one week apart to 6 healthy subjects. The mean AUCs of benzoic acid after the doses of 80 and 160 mg/kg of sodium benzoate were 3.7- and 12.0-times greater, respectively, than after 40 mg/kg. However, the mean AUC of hippuric acid was roughly proportional to the benzoate doses. The observed data were explained by a one-compartment model with first-order rate absorption and Michaelis-Menten elimination of benzoic acid, together with a one-compartment model with first-order elimination for hippuric acid. Although the maximum rate of biotransformation of benzoic acid to hippuric acid varied between 17.2 and 28.8 mg.kg-1.h-1 among the six individuals, the mean value (23.0 mg.kg-1.h-1) was fairly close to that provided by daily maximum dose (0.5 g.kg-1.day-1) recommended in the treatment of hyperammonaemia in patients with inborn errors of ureagenesis. The individual maximum rate of metabolism can be estimated from the urinary excretion rate of hippuric acid 1.5 to 3 h after the single oral dose of 80 to 160 mg.kg-1 sodium benzoate. The justification of this concept requires further studies in patients with inborn errors of urea synthesis.

Abstract
1. The metabolism of aspirin was investigated in 45 patients who had taken self-administered overdose of aspirin and were treated with fluids only, glycine, N-glycylglycine by mouth, or by sodium bicarbonate i.v. 2. The major metabolite recovered in the urine of patients treated with oral fluids, glycine or N-glycylglycine was salicyluric acid, which accounted for means of 51%, 47% and 38% of the total, respectively; salicylic acid comprised 19%, 29% and 29%. In contrast, salicylic acid (42%) was the major urinary metabolite recovered from patients treated with sodium bicarbonate. 3. Plasma glycine concentrations in healthy volunteers who had taken no aspirin remained constant through the day and were not affected by a therapeutic dose (500 mg) of aspirin. Plasma glycine was consistently lower in patients with aspirin overdose than in these healthy volunteers, suggesting depletion of available glycine. 4. Orally administered glycine and N-glycylglycine increased plasma glycine. While the fraction of total salicylate recovered as salicyluric acid was not altered, the maximum rate of excretion of salicyluric acid was higher in patients who received glycine than in the control group; there was no significant difference in the maximum rate of excretion of salicyluric acid between the group that received glycine and the group that received N-glycylglycine. 5. The data suggest that exogenous glycine increases the rate of formation of salicyluric acid in salicylate overdose.

Abstract
For patients with inborn errors of urea synthesis, oral administration of sodium benzoate is the usual treatment to increase the nitrogen excretion. Thus, monitoring hippuric acid and benzoic acid simultaneously in human biological fluids is considered to be clinically important. We developed a simple and accurate high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of hippuric acid and benzoic acid in human plasma and urine. This method requires no extraction step. Aliquots of urine and plasma are added to a solution of internal standard (o-chlorobenzoic acid) in acetonitrile and directly injected onto a reversed-phase column using an acidic (pH 2.7) eluent and ultraviolet detection at 235 nm. The preliminary plasma concentration-time and urinary excretion rate-time profiles of hippuric acid and benzoic acid from a healthy subject receiving small, medium and large doses of sodium benzoate are reported.

Abstract
The urinary metabolites of a single dose (1 g) of salicylic acid were investigated in black Nigerian subjects (78 females 44 males). Qualitatively, the major metabolites were the glycine and glucuronic acid conjugates. Quantitatively, there was a statistically significant difference in the level of these metabolites between female and male subjects (P less than 0.001) (using Student's t-test). The results of the present study compared with earlier published data show a statistically significant quantitative difference between black Nigerians and Caucasians (P less than 0.001). The results suggest possible racial and sex differences in the metabolism of salicylic acid.

Abstract
A method for the determination of benzoic acid down to concentrations of 10 ng/ml in plasma or urine is described. After addition of an internal standard, benzoic acid is extracted at acid pH into diethyl ether. Both compounds are derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide. The derivatives are determined by gas chromatography using a 63Ni electron-capture detector. Hippuric acid is hydrolysed in plasma and urine and total benzoic acid is determined by the same technique.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of a single dyphylline dose were studied in five normal volunteers. The mean dyphylline half-life was 1.8 +/- 0.2 hr; the mean total body clearance rate and mean renal clearance rate were 333 +/- 62 and 276 +/- 52 ml/min, respectively; and the mean volume of distribution was 0.8 +/- 0.2 liter/kg. In the urine, 83 +/- 5% of the dose was excreted as unchanged drug, and theophylline was not detected. Dyphylline doses of 19--27 mg/kg, resulting in peak serum dyphylline concentrations of 19.3--23.5 micrograms/ml, were tolerated well by four subjects. One subject had a severe headache following a 28-mg/kg dose, associated with a peak serum dyphylline concentration of 36.4 micrograms/ml. This study confirms speculation that dyphylline is not metabolized to theophylline in vivo.

Abstract
We have developed a sensitive radiochemical assay of glycine N-acyltransferase activity, using phenylacetyl-CoA as the acyl donor and glycine as the acceptor. This assay measures formation of the product, phenylacetylglycine, instead of disappearance of the substrate, phenylacetyl-CoA, as did earlier assays. The subcellular location and some properties of the conjugating activity were determined in liver and kidney of the rabbit and the rat. Rabbit lung and intestine were also tested for activity.

Abstract
A gas chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of hippuric and o-, m-, and p-methylhippuric acids (metabolites of toluene and xylene) in urine is described. The analytical procedure is based on the extraction of the aromatic metabolites with ethyl acetate containing the internal standard and on a methylation with 3-methyl-1-p-tolyltriazene. With this method, which does not require much time and handling, the different acids can be satisfactorily determined with high sensitivity and specificity. A statistical study shows a good reproducibility for the determination of hippuric and o-, m-, and p-methylhippuric acids. The coefficient of variation for 10 determinations in all cases was less than 5%.
