Detection of endogenous ethanol and other compounds in the breath by gas chromatography with on-column concentration of sample.
Excretion of low-molecular weight volatile substances in human breath: focus on endogenous ethanol.
  • A. Jones

    Journal of analytical toxicology
  • 1985
TLDR
A gas chromatographic method suitable for the analysis of low-molecular endogenous volatiles in human breath is described, which found that when a man drank 5 g of exogenous ethanol, the blood concentration increased 200 times above the endogenous level.
Rapid and sensitive static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the analysis of ethanol and abused inhalants in blood.
Improvement of ethyl glucuronide determination in human urine and serum samples by solid-phase extraction.

Simultaneous determination of ethanol and methanol in alcohol free malt beverages, energy drinks and fruit juices by gas chromatography
A simple, sensitive, and direct method to decide if “alcohol-free” beverages, energy drinks and fruit juices could result in positive “alcohol alerts” based on the use of the gas chromatography with…
A Simple Colorimetric Method for Determination of Ethanol in Exhaled Breath Condensate
TLDR
A rapid and catalyst free colorimetric method with great potential for ethanol determination owing to many desirable properties such as high reliability, high sensitivity, and fast response time is developed.
Ethyl glucuronide excretion in humans following oral administration of and dermal exposure to ethanol.
Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a direct ethanol biomarker and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has advised that specificity studies at low EtG levels are needed for distinction of ethanol…

TLDR
It was demonstrated that conjugates of ethanol and acetaldehyde were present in urine of alcoholics andUrinary levels of free ethanol and the conjugate in abstaining alcoholics were higher than those of social drinkers.
Effect of 4-methylpyrazole on endogenous plasma ethanol and methanol levels in humans.
TLDR
The present study provides conclusive evidence for a constant endogenous production as well as clearance of ethanol and methanol in humans and shows that the ethanol and meethanol produced are, at least in part, eliminated by the ADH pathway.

TLDR
Results show that at least 70% of a man's vital capacity must be discarded before a breath-concentration plateau for ethanol develops, and even after a discard breath-volume of 10% FVC the concentration of alcohol reaches 80% of the level in end-expiratory breath.
Gas-chromatographic and mass-spectrometric detection of low-molecular-weight aliphatic alcohols in urine of normal individuals and patients with diabetes mellitus.
TLDR
The aliphatic alcohols in 100 urines from 25 patients with diabetes mellitus under treatment with insulin, oral antidiabetic medication, or special diet are studied to show increased concentrations of ethanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, and isopentanol.
Gas chromatographic determination at the parts per million level of methanol and ethanol in aqueous solutions
The physiological role of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
TLDR
The results indicate that significant amounts of alcohol are normally formed in the gastro-intestinal tract and the function, or a major function, of liver alcohol dehydrogenase is the detoxication of ethanol normally present.

TLDR
Experiments have been performed in the manner suggested in the review in an attempt to clarify the issues, but it has not been possible to confirm the concentrations reported.
Endogenous ethanol: a review.
TLDR
General agreement in the literature over the constant rate at which ingested ethanol is eliminated, the few opposing views notwithstanding, would seem to offer suppo rt for those who saw little real evidence of the endogenous occurrence of ethanol.
Methanol in Normal Human Breath
Free methanol has been detected and measured, by gas-liquid chromatography, in the breath of several normal, healthy humans. It is suggested that this is a metabolic product rather than the result of…
