Metabolite 3
Metabolite 3 :
Chemical compound that results from a chemical reaction in the body. Often, a chemical that enters the body is rapidly metabolized or otherwise difficult to measure or distinguish from external contamination. A metabolite may be more stable and also may be eliminated in urine, making it more accessible and easier to measure. A substance produced directly by a biotransformation of a chemical. For example, phenol in urine is a metabolite of benzene and is representative of benzene absorption in the worker. Source: NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods.
