A method for improving the assay of beta-glucuronidase in hepatic and gallbladder bile is described. The method uses ion-pair extraction with N,N,N-triheptyl-1-heptanaminium bromide to remove pigments and bile acids. Conjugated bilirubin, unconjugated bilirubin, and taurine and glycine conjugates of deoxycholic
The transport of glucuronides across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is an important step in the overall process of biotransformation, although the mechanism remains unclear and the participating transporters are unidentified. Using a rapid filtration assay in combination with liquid chromatography-mass

Preliminary studies have been undertaken to evaluate the potential of immobilized phenylboronic acid (PBA) for the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of glucuronide metabolites from urine. These studies have demonstrated that immobilized PBA can be used to specifically extract phenolphthalein glucuronide (5
