We identified and quantified indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide in uremic serum and urine to determine the metabolism of indoles including indoxyl sulfate in uremic patients. Serum levels of indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide were markedly increased in undialyzed uremic patients, in patients on hemodialysis, and in patients
The content of indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide, which has been found in patients' plasma as a new indicator of renal failure, logarithmically correlated with that of 3-indoxyl sulfate (indican) in the plasma of hemodialysis patients, showing another weak correlation with beta(2)-microglobulin content.

Indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide (indoxyl) was evaluated as a specific chromogen for detection of Escherichia coli by the membrane filter method. In all, 413 colonies were tested from the indoxyl-supplemented media, yielding 93.3% confirmation, as E. coli. Compared with the indoxyl medium, other

To establish a simple identification procedure for Escherichia coli, we developed a disk containing indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide, the chromogenic substrate of beta-D-glucuronidase. Of 188 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, 101 (97%) of 104 strains of E. coli and two (67%) of three strains of
Characteristic light emission induced by the oxidation of hydroxyl radicals has been found in plasma of hemodialysis patients (Agatsuma et al., Clin Chem 1992;38:48-55). We purified a primary emitter, a chemiluminescent component peaking at 430 nm, by anion-exchange chromatography and
Probiotics exhibit an inhibitory effect on pathogens, help prevent chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases or atopic syndromes, and support the immune system.
Today, diverse studies report the benefits of probiotics, such as inhibitory effects on pathogens, aid in the management or prevention of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases or atopic syndromes, and support to the immune system. Potential beneficial applications abound, researchers continue to evaluate the effictiveness and clarify the mechanisms of action of probiotics.
