描述
Benzoquinoneacetic acid is an oxidized phase of the oxidation-reduction system homogentisic-benzoquinoneacetic acid. This compound is secreted in large quantities in the urine of patients suffering from cyanosis. Cyanosis is the bluish coloration of the skin due to the presence of deoxygenated hemoglobin in blood vessels near the skin surface. (Ella H. Fishberg, J. Biol.
