[Affecting the levels of ethanol by administering gasoline with ethanol].
Administering of benzene alone into rat stomach through a tube does not increase the amount of reducing compounds in blood above the physiological level and does not influence the Widmark test in spite of the fact that benzene in blood in vitro produces reducing compounds. The administration of benzene alone to rats is not sufficient for any conspicuous reducing compounds in blood above the level corresponding to the administration of ethanol alone. This elevation is due to the increased ethanol serum level according to the result of gas chromatography. Benzene components may influence ethanol resorption, metabolism and elimination. The administration of benzene alone to rats is not sufficient for any conspicuous blood level of reducing compounds. Findings in rats represent a first stage information which may be important for forensic medical expertise.
