Vehicle:
water
Control animals:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Details on study design:
In studies using 6 rats, 24-hour urine collections were made following  intraperitoneal administration of 2.5% aqueous labelled sodium  thioglycolate (12.5-75 mg/kg body weight)

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:
Of the total sulphur administered, significant levels were excreted as  inorganic sulphate (23-72%); the total labelled sulphur excreted during  the first 24 hours was 59-96% of the dose. Two of the rats excreted 9% or  11% on the second day and 2% or 6% on the third day respectively. No  hydrogen sulphide was detected in exhaled air during any of three 10-hour  tests on 1 rat (weight and strain not stated) treated intraperitoneally  with 150 mg sodium thioglycolate/kg bodyweight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The urinary excretion of sodium thioglycolate was also evaluated in rats (weight and strain not stated) injected i.p. with 12.5 to 75.0 mg/kg of a 2.5% solution of sodium35S-thioglycolate. Urine was collected over a period of 24 h. Quantities of inorganic sulphate excreted, expressed as % of administered radioactivity, ranged from 23 to 72%. The total labelled sulphur excreted during the first 24 hours was 59-96% of the dose. Two of the rats excreted 9% or 11% on the second day and 2% or 6% on the third day respectively.
