Research Excerpts

Overview

Phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) is a metabolite that is excreted in human urine.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) is a metabolite that is excreted in human urine. "( Urinary phenylacetylglutamine as a possible biomarker for central nervous system disorders in forensic autopsy cases.
