Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Dimethylglycine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124873MetabolicDimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid derivative found in the cells of all plants and animals and can be obtained in the diet in small amounts from grains and meat. … Choline is obtained from dietary sources like meat, fish, eggs and poultry. Choline is metabolized in the liver to betaine aldehyde in the mitochondria via the enzyme choline dehydrogenase.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126858MetabolicPhenylacetic acid may arise from exposure to styrene (plastic) or through the consumption of fruits and vegetables. … The presence of phenylacetylglycine in urine has been confirmed for dogs, rats and mice. However, the presence of this compound in human urine is controversial.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123209MetabolicHippuric acid is an acyl glycine present in normal urine. This uremic toxin’s presence increases with consumption of phenol-rich foods (e.g. tea, wine, fruit juice, etc.). … A monocarboxylate transporter then exports hippuric acid from the liver to the blood, where it exerts toxic effects. It can reduce blood clotting and, in the kidney, inhibit organic acid secretion.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Phenyl glucuronide
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123227MetabolicPhenyl glucuronide is a phenolic compound that is formed through gut microbial metabolism from dietary tyrosine and a glucuronidation reaction in liver hepatic cells. … When this compound returns back into systemic circulation it is shown to be a major uremic toxin through high levels of retention. Phenyl glucuronide is shown to
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Indoxyl glucuronide
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123239MetabolicIndoxyl glucuronide is an indole compound that is formed through gut microbial metabolism from dietary tryptophan and a glucuronidation reaction in liver hepatic cells. … After being transported into gut microbes, tryptophan undergoes a reaction with the enzyme tryptophanase to form indole.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Kynurenic Acid
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123300MetabolicKynurenic acid is shown to activate aryl hydrocarbon receptors that can lead to renal impairment, and it also disrupts the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation causing muscle atrophy. … After being transported into a hepatocyte from portal circulation tryptophan undergoes a reaction with the enzyme tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase to initially form kynurenine and then with a kynurenine aminotransferase
Metabolsim and Physiological Effects of 4-Ethylphenylsulfate
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125541MetabolicIt has also been found to be related to cardiovascular mortality and to cause cell apoptosis. … phenylalanine is consumed through foods such as milk, eggs, cheese, nuts, soybeans, chicken, beef, pork, beans and fish.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126521MetabolicImidazolepropionic acid, also known as deaminohistidine or 4-imidazolylpropionate (ImP), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as imidazolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives. … These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain (of at least 2 carbon atoms) linked to an imidazole ring.
Drugs: HistidineMetabolism and Physiological Effects of N-Acetylphenylalanine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126720MetabolicIn addition to the NAT enzymes and protein-based acetylation, N-acetylation of free phenylalanine can also occur. … The human NatA complex co-translationally acetylates N-termini that bear a small amino acid (A, S, T, C, and occasionally V and G).
Drugs: PhenylalanineMetabolism and Physiological Effects of Phenol sulphate
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126844MetabolicIn experimental models of diabetes, phenol sulphate administration has been shown to induce albuminuria and podocyte damage. … It is a protein-bound uremic solute that induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreases glutathione levels, rendering cells vulnerable to oxidative stress.
