In certain cases the measurement of these metabolites in body fluids can be used to diagnose disorders associated with mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. Methylhippuric acid is a metabolite of xylene which is an aromatic hydrocarbon widely used as a solvent.

Monomethyl glutaric acid is a metabolite of dibasic esters(DBEs) by nasal respiratory and olfactory mucosae in vitro demonstrated that hydrolysis of DBEs yields mainly the monomethyl esters (monomethyl adipate monomethyl. glutarate and monomethyl succinate).
