Biochemical analysis uncovers the weak oestrogen equol in human urine, highlighting its excretion and potential biological significance.

To identify and characterize the weak oestrogen equol in human urine and evaluate its quantitative excretion.
Analyzed human urine specimens using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Conducted preliminary quantitative assays to measure equol excretion levels in urine.
Identified the weak oestrogen equol [7-hydroxy-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)chroman] in human urine for the first time.
Demonstrated measurable quantitative excretion of equol in human urinary samples.

Axelson et al. (1982) studied this question.
