Metabolism of p-aminobenzoic acid in the perfused livers of chronically uraemic rats. 1979

M B Howie, and E Bourke

1. Chronic renal failure was induced in rats by surgical removal of thirteen-sixteenths of renal tissue. 2. The metabolism of p-amino[14C]benzoic acid was studied in the isolated perfused livers of control and chronically uraemic rats. There was a slower rate of clearance and decreased overall metabolism of the compounds in the uraemic rats. 3. Conjugation of p-amino[14C]benzoic acid with glycine and the formation of p-aminobenzoic acid glucuronide were both significantly decreased in the uraemic rats, but there was a significant increase in acetylation of both p-aminobenzoic acid and its glycine conjugate.

D010129	4-Aminobenzoic Acid	An aminobenzoic acid isomer that combines with pteridine and GLUTAMIC ACID to form FOLIC ACID. The fact that 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs light throughout the UVB range has also resulted in its use as an ingredient in SUNSCREENS.
