Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Androsterone sulfate
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0127012MetabolicAndrosterone has generally been considered to be an inactive metabolite of testosterone, which when conjugated by glucuronidation and sulfation allows testosterone to be removed from the body. … Approximately 50% of testosterone is metabolized via conjugation into testosterone glucuronide and to a lesser extent testosterone sulfate by glucuronosyltransferases and sulfotransferases, respectively

Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Phenyl sulfate
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123213MetabolicPhenyl sulphate is shown to cause albuminuria and diabetic kidney disease. … Phenyl sulphate is a phenolic compound that is formed through gut microbial metabolism from dietary tyrosine and a sulfation reaction in liver hepatic cells.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Para-cresol
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123214MetabolicP-cresol is shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease and it can also inhibit endothelial cell proliferation. … P-cresol can then undergo sulfation or glucuronidation reactions in the liver to produce the uremic toxins p-cresyl sulfate and p-cresyl glucuronide respectively.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Indoxyl Sulfate
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123237MetabolicIt is also shown to cause vascular calcification and disrupt the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation causing muscle atrophy … Indoxyl sulfate is an indole compound that is formed through gut microbial metabolism from dietary tryptophan and a sulfation reaction in liver hepatic cells.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Phenylacetic Acid
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123256MetabolicIt reduces nitric oxide production and reduces protection against inflammation in vessel walls. It also leads to the production of reactive oxygen species. … L-Phenylalanine is consumed through high protein foods such as eggs, chicken, liver, beef, milk, and soybeans.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Orotic acid
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124870MetabolicL-glutamine is first converted to carbamoyl phosphate then to N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartate and finally to dihydroorotate by the CAD protein (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 2, aspartate transcarbamylase, and … It originates from l-glutamine, which is obtained from protein sources such as red meat and eggs in the diet. L-glutamine is metabolized to orotate in the liver.
