Wawasan
/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Pentaerythrite given
orally to volunteers (up to 6 persons) produced in
a dose above 5 g an increased amount of urine, in
a dose above 10 g increased glucose (blood), in a
dose above 50 g a slightly increased pulse rate.
Excretion was rapid, complete within 30 hr. Most
of the pentaerythrite ingested was eliminated
unchanged in the urine. 13-15% was metabolized.
Test substance purity approx. 99%.
