title: Percutaneous uptake and kinetics of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) in the guinea-pig.
abstract: Continuous intravenous infusion of 0.478 mumol/min methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) was performed for 30 min in pentobarbital-anesthetized guinea-pigs. Epicutaneous exposure for 150 min was carried out 2.5 h later after administration of MIBK to a sealed glass ring on the clipped back of the animals. Arterial blood was analyzed for MIBK by gas chromatography. Blood clearance averaged 201 ml.min-1.kg-1 body wt. A maximum percutaneous uptake of 1.1 mumol.min-1.cm-2 was reached 10-45 min after the onset of exposure and decreased to 0.56 mumol.min-1.cm-2 during the latter part of exposure.
