Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no data
In an oral excretion study in guinea pigs, ethanethiol was quickly absorbed and distributed throughout the body tissues; the majority of the excretion occurred through the kidney as inorganic sulfate (Bast, 2004c).
Executive summary:

In an excretion study conducted in guinea pigs doses of ethanethiol were orally administered. The duration of the experiment was not reported. Excretion of the substance was measured in the urine, feces and breath of the animals.

The test material application produced minimal excretion in the feces of the guinea pigs, but seemed to represent 10% to 20% of the sulfur excreted in the urine and 14% in the breath. The authors of the animal study concluded that ethanethiol was quickly absorbed and distributed throughout the body tissues; the majority of the excretion occurred through the kidney as inorganic sulfate.

The result is sourced from secondary literature (Bast, 2004). The original reference was not available for review. The study received a Klimisch score of 4 and was classified as not assignable as the quality of the study and therefore the results cannot be verified.
