The Effect of Ethyl Alcohol on Permeation of ²⁴Na Sodium Into the Perilymph

Abstract

The investigations showed that on injecting a given dose of ethyl alcohol intraperitoneally into guinea-pigs, the permeation process of ²⁴Na sodium isotope into the perilymph is slower and its value is lower than in the vascular bed, in which the activity of the isotope is proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the blood. It was also found that the perilymph activity in those animals to which alcohol was administered was lower than the analogical values in control guinea-pigs.
