Detection of an alcohol specific product in urine of alcoholics
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
|November 14, 1986
Abstract:
A simple procedure, using high performance liquid chromatography, was developed to detect and measure in urine an alcohol specific product, "ASP" indicative of chronic alcohol consumption. One day after hospital admission, the average amount of ASP in urine of alcoholics was 17 times higher than that of control subjects and 5 and 2 times higher after 7 and 14 days of abstinence, respectively. Urinary levels of ASP should be of value in the identification of chronic alcoholism.

01:10¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Temporal Resolution
Protons bonded to heteroatoms such as nitrogen and oxygen exhibit a range of chemical shift values. This is due to the varying degree of hydrogen bonding between the proton and the heteroatom in other molecules. The extent of hydrogen bonding affects the electron density around the proton, thereby giving different chemical shift values for the protons in the proton NMR spectrum.

Urinalysis is a widely used diagnostic test that analyzes urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics. Healthcare providers use it to detect and monitor various health conditions, including renal disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, and metabolic or systemic disorders.Components of UrinalysisUrinalysis consists of three primary components: physical, chemical, and microscopic examination. Each provides unique insights into the urine sample and, by extension, the...
