Three new metabolites of medium-chain fatty acid oxidation, 3-, 6-and 7-hydroxyoctanoyl p-D-glucuronide, were identified in the urine of six infants who were fed a diet enriched in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Glucuronides were extracted from the urine by organic solvent extraction with ethyl a
