Title: Protective effect of ethanol on acute ammonia intoxication in mice
Abstract: A single i.p injection of 12 mmoles ammonium acetate/kg produced 100% mortality in mice. Ethanol in doses of 11 to 75 mmoles/kg administered along with the ammonium acetate decreased dramatically the mortality, the maximum protective effect being at 75 mmoles/kg. Blood and brain ammonia levels were also significantly reduced, while blood ethanol was higher in animals injected with ammonia and ethanol. Methanol and butanol also had some protective effect.
