Description

Ethyl β-D-glucuronide (EBG) is a metabolite of ethanol that is formed by the conjugation of glucuronic acid to ethanol in the liver. EBG has been shown to be a potential biomarker for alcohol consumption, as it can be detected in urine and blood. The presence of this molecule has also been associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. EBG may also have pharmacological effects as it has been shown to inhibit lipid oxidation and increase insulin sensitivity. This molecule can be extracted from human serum using solid phase microextraction
