Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

RS-Freetext:
Prior to exposure  three  separate  24-hour periods for
urine volume and baseline sulfate excretion determination
(twice, one -week interval). Subjects received either above
dose in a single dose or in four hourly increments; one week
later the alternative dosing schedule.
72 -hour urine was collected in 24-hour portions. Urinary
free sulfate excretion corrected for baseline was about 53.4
+-16.8 for the single dose and 61.8 +-7.8 for the divided
dose. Single dose causeds severe diarrhoea, divided dose did
not.  Excretion of free sulfate is not influenced by urine
flow, but excretion of organicaly bound sulfate is.in a
linear fashion.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Sodium sulfate is better absorbed from the intestine when given in divided dose than from a single large dose, indicating saturation of the transport system.
