Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Rabbits dosed with 200 or 2000 mg/kg TEG respectively excreted 34.3% or 28% of the dose amount as unchanged TEG. The urine of 1 rabbit contamined 35.2% of the administered dose as a hydroxyacid form of TEG.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: In discussing treatment of TEG poisoning, it was stated that TEG is believed to be metabolized in mammals by alcohol dehydrogenase to acidic products causing metabolic acidosis. TEG metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase can be inhibited by 4-methyl pyrazole. In discussing treatment of TEG poisoning, it was stated that TEG is believed to be metabolized in mammals by alcohol dehydrogenase to acidic products causing metabolic acidosis. TEG metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase can be inhibited by 4-methyl pyrazole or ethanol.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
