g-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is a drug of abuse. Literature studies showed that d-glucuronate acts as an oxidative stimulator of GHB metabolism following in vivo GHB tracer doses. The present proof-of-concept study investigates if d-glucuronate enhances GHB metabolism and inhibits blood-brain barrier
The aim of this study was to determine if the endogenous levels of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in urine were affected by drinking and smoking. Urine samples were obtained from 20 healthy volunteers (15 males, 21-45 years; 5 females, 22-24 years). This population included four average drinkers (m
