3-Methylhippurate is a Xylene Metabolite.
Xylene is found in many solvents (paints, perfumes, etc.). Used in insecticide\pesticide application. Metabolized to Methylhippurate, which is measured in urine.
Optimal range: 0 - 74 mcg/g
Methylhippuric Acids (MHAs) are metabolites of xylene (dimethylbenzenes).
Xylenes are widely used as solvents in products including paints, detergents, pesticides, fuel, perfumes, and exhaust fumes.
The main effect of inhaling xylene vapor is depression of the central nervous system (CNS), with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Long-term exposure may lead to irritability, depression, insomnia, agitation, extreme tiredness, tremors, hearing loss, impaired concentration, and short-term memory loss.
A condition called chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy, commonly known as "organic solvent syndrome" has been associated with xylene exposure.

Both 1-methylhistidine and 3-methylhistidine are histidine metabolites which have been proposed as markers of meat intake. Note that some confusion exists in the literature regarding the numbering of atoms in the imidazole ring of histidine – 1 versus 3 – and thus, there is caution with interpretation and clinical significance of these two markers.
3-methylhistidine is a constituent of actin and myosin, the contractile proteins of skeletal muscles. Urinary excretion of 3-methylhistidine may be a result of muscle breakdown or consumption of meat fibers. Unlike 1-methylhistidine, 3-methylhistidine has been shown to increase in fasting states indicating catabolism of muscle tissue. Therefore, this marker is more variable with regards to animal protein consumption.

3-O-Methyldopa (3-OMD) is a compound that emerges in the context of diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions, particularly those related to neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. It's essential to understand that 3-OMD is closely related to L-DOPA, a medication widely used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. In patients receiving L-DOPA therapy, 3-OMD is produced as a metabolite - a substance created during the breakdown and conversion of the drug within the body.
If the concentraton of 3-O-methyldopa in plasma is within the reference range, it demonstrates that the individual does not have aromatc L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) defciency.
