| Popis: | In our earlier report it was found that after intravenous infusion of ethanol into monkeys the drinking of oxygenated water accelerated their elimination rate of ethanol 60% on the average. The acceleration was assumed to be due to increased hepatic oxygen tension through the portal blood flow. Now we have repeated similar experiments using humans as subjects. In humans the elimination rate of ethanol was not changed by oxygenated drinks. We are not able to explain the species difference, because the mechanism by which oxygenated water increased ethanol elimination in monkeys is unsettled. |
