Studios on the Effect of Other Alcohols on the Metnbolism of Methanol in Rnt Livoa Homogemtes

Abstract. The effect of various lower aliphatic aloohols on the accumulation of formaldehyde in rat liver homogenates incubated with methanol has been studied. The addition of ethanol inhibited very clearly the accumulation of formaldehyde, n‐propanol, isopropanol or n‐butanol had no effect on the accumulation of formaldehyde.
