Metabolite Identification
Common NameAlpha-CEHC
DescriptionAlpha-CEHC is a metabolite belonging to the class of phenolic compounds. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group attached to an aromatic ring, contributing to its reactivity and interaction with various biological pathways. Alpha-CEHC is involved in several metabolic processes, including its correlation with inflammatory responses, where it serves as a predictive marker for poor oral health (PMID:40132249 ). Additionally, it has been positively correlated with phenol glucuronide and other metabolites, indicating its role in complex biochemical networks (PMID:39996072 ). Notably, decreased levels of alpha-CEHC sulfate have been associated with increased risk of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), suggesting its potential involvement in energy metabolism (PMID:38660205 ). Furthermore, alpha-CEHC sulfate and alpha-CEHC glucuronide were identified as significant cofactors associated with vitamin E dosage, highlighting their relevance in nutritional biochemistry (PMID:37447163 ). The metabolite's utility extends to clinical applications, as it has been shown to help discriminate between upper tract urothelial carcinoma and bladder cancer in patients presenting with hematuria (PMID:37256175 ).
