2. it is also used as a detoxicant The liver uses glucose to create glucuronolactone,which inhibits the enzyme B-glucuronidase (metabolizes glucuronides), which should cause blood-glucuronide levels to rise. Glucuronides combine with toxic substances, such as depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, by converting them to water-soluble glucuronide-conjugates which are excreted in the urine.

Meanwhile, glucuronolactone decrease activity of liver amylase, prevent glycogenolysis, increase content of glycogen, reduce storage of fattiness. Glucuronolactone also can be used for hepatitis, hepatocirrhosis, food and drug poisoning. It is the adjuvant drug of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis.
