Abstract

In rabbits, cats, dogs and rats the alcohol formation, post mortem and in corpore, was investigated using gas chromatography (head-space method). Depending on the state of decomposition of the animal cadaver ethanol concentrations of more than 0.12% were found in the blood samples apart from n-propanol which could often be measured in relevant concentrations.
