Introduction

guidelines
Is a volatile organic ketone found in almost all urine samples of normal individuals. (PMID 15996539) It has been hypothesized that arises from in vivo beta-oxidation of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (EHA) from plasticizers, similar to formation of 3-heptanone from valproic acid. (PMID 11282094)
