Product Description
Ethyl-β-D-glucuronide is a minor metabolite of ethanol.1,2 It is primarily formed from ethanol by UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), but it can also be formed via β-glucuronidase cleavage and transfer of the glucuronide moiety in various non-ethanol-containing β-glucuronides to ethanol.3 Hair levels of ethyl-β-D-glucuronide are positively correlated with alcohol consumption in patients with alcohol dependence syndrome.4
