Abstract The urinary excretion of D-glucaric acid reflects the activity of hepatic enzymes that hydroxylate and detoxify many substances foreign to the body. We measured it in 38 healthy unmedicated males (ages, 3 to 90 years; weights 11.8 to 136 kg) and in 15 females (ages, 10 to 80). The males, regardless of age or weight, excreted 56.1 ± 15.7 (SD) nmol of D-glucaric acid per milligram of creatinine. A "standard man" would excrete 98 µmol of this compound per day, in agreement with observations by other workers. We infer that the normal hydroxylating activity of the liver is a direct function of body cell mass.
