Disease relevance of methanethiol

Breath hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methyl-mercaptan (CH3SH) concentrations are used as quantitative indicators of halitosis [1].

High impact information on methanethiol

1. Analysis of reticulocytes for delta-amino-laevulinic acid synthase (AmLev synthase, EC 2.3.1.37) and haem synthase (EC 4.99.1.1) activity in 17 workers in pulp production with low-level hydrogen sulphide and methylmercaptan exposure showed decreased activities in eight and six cases respectively [2].
