Abstract
Summary
Rates of C14O2 formation from ethanol-1-C14 were measured in rats that had been allowed only water, 20%, 10%, or 5% solutions of ethanol to drink. Rats which had drunk 10% ethanol for 6 to 11 months metabolized it 18% faster than controls or animals drinking 5% ethanol. Rats drinking 20% ethanol were not different from controls. None of the groups forced to drink ethanol differed significantly from controls in rate of C14O2 formation from acetate-1-C14 and glucose-U-C14.
