Abstract
We studied the pharmacokinetics of (14)C-ethanol administered in various doses and via different routes to CBA, C57Bl/6, and (CBAxC57Bl/6)F1 mice. Kinetic scheme of ethanol distribution included its elimination by enzymatic (80-90% C(0)) and exponential (10-20% C(0)) mechanisms. Ethanol pharmacokinetics did not depend on the administration route and mouse strain. The kinetic scheme of ethanol distribution in mice was characterized by a dose-dependent linear increase in alcohol concentration in the plasma and brain and nonlinear (parabolic) increase in the area under its pharmacokinetic curve in the test tissue.
