Propylene glycol interference in determination of serum and liver triglycerides.

Propylene Glycol Interference In Gas -

To the Editor: We wish to substantiate the important observations of LeGatt and Tisdell (1) cautioning against the use of propylene glycol as an internal standard for quantifying ethylene glycol. A 32-yearold woman presented to our emergency department in an agitated state after the ingestion of multiple drugs in an attempted suicide. Gastric lavage and charcoal were administered as well as int...

Study of Surface Tension of Binary Mixtures of Poly (Ethylene Glycol) in Water and Poly (Propylene Glycol) in Ethanol and its Modeling Using Neural Network

Relationship of continuous infusion lorazepam to serum propylene glycol concentration in critically ill adults.

OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to evaluate the relationship between high-dose lorazepam and serum propylene glycol concentrations. Secondary objectives were a) to document the occurrence of propylene glycol accumulation associated with continuous high-dose lorazepam infusion; b) to assess the relationship between lorazepam dose, serum propylene glycol concentrations, and propylene glycol ...

Factors influencing serum glycoprotein levels in the mouse and rat.

The changes in serum protein-bound hexose concentration following the injection of papain, hyaluronidase, estriol, ethylene and propylene glycol, Aminopterin, urethan, turpentine, adrenocorticotropin, and homogenates of normal and autolyzed liver have been examined. Neither stimulation nor suppression of cell proliferation had any marked effect on serum glycoproteins. Both normal and autolyzed ...

Emergency screening for ethylene glycol in serum.

We have exploited the "interference" of ethylene glycol in the Du Pont aca triglyceride method to develop a convenient and rapid screening method for detecting ethylene glycol in serum. Pretreatment of patient's serum with lipase, glycerol kinase, and other cofactors usually added for triglyceride analysis removes triglycerides and glycerol, but not ethylene glycol, from the sample. The aca tri...
