Description

Hippuric acid is a metabolite of benzoate that is excreted in urine. It can be detected as a marker for bowel disease and cancer, as well as being an indicator of the metabolic effects due to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Hippuric acid is also a substrate for the enzyme hippurate hydroxylase, which converts it to benzoate. The biological samples used in this study were from patients with carcinoid syndrome, who have high levels of hippuric acid in their urine due to increased production by tumor cells.
