General description

4-Ethylphenol sodium sulfate is the sodium salt of 4-Ethylphenyl sulfate (4EPS). 4-Ethylphenyl sulfate is a gut microbial metabolite derived from tyrosine, which is converted into 4-ethylphenol and subsequently sulfated in the liver. Upregulated urine 4EPS levels are found among rats prone to insulin resistance and obesity. Increased plasma 4EPS was reported in a murine model of autism, and mice treated with 4EPS displayed anxiety-like behaviours. Higher levels of 4-ethylphenylsulfate were also found in plasma, liver, heart and kidneys in a rat model of chronic kidney disease. 4EPS is a component of the urine of male rats, and both 4-ethylphenyl sulfate and 4-ethylphenol are thought to participate in pheromonal communication. p-Cresol-sulfate and 4-ethylphenyl sulfate are thought to derive from tyrosine and have similar bioactivities, however their enzymatic production may differ.

In conventional pharmacological studies, intersubject differences within an animal strain are normally neglected, leading to variations in pharmacological outcomes in response to the same stimulus. Using two classical experimental models, the Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic model of Wistar rats and the
