ABSORPTION AND TRANSIT OF METHYL ALCOHOL IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT OF WHITE MICE

Entering of 14С- methanol to the blood after intragastric introduction is accompanied with its transport along the GIT. The received results are evidence of high-rate of entrance of radio-active compound into all departments of GIT and its absorption (in the stomach and small intestine), which results in rapid distribution in the body of experimental animals.

Intravenous administration of 14С-methanol results in its penetration into different departments of the GIT (the stomach, small and large intestine, and rectum). The conclusion about possibility of methanol reabsorption during the process of its absorption in GIT is made and its connection to processes of absorption and transit is shown.
