Abstract

The study was carried out to investigate the ratio of ethanol to n-propanol in blood and urine specimens, and developed a method for distinguishing ingested ethanol from artifactual ethanol in urine samples. In case of no urinary ethanol was detected, the ratio of ethanol to n-propanol concentration was about 12~20 times higher than those of blood. Therefore, it might be a good method to determine whether the detected ethanol is from drinking or from microbial fermentation. During the metabolism of ethanol, the levels of the metabolite of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) were decreased, while 5-hydroxytryptophol (5-HTOL) was increased. The levels of 5-HTOL/5-HIAA in urine samples of drinking suspects were greater than 1, in that of no drinking suspects were less than 1.
