Modeling of alcohol intoxication with Baikal vodka

The results of comparative toxicity studies of 40.0% ethyl alcohol prepared on the basis of both distilled and drinking water containing 4.8 mg/L of oxygen and Baikal vodka containing 11.4 mg/L of oxygen were presented. Median effective dose (ED 50) of ethanol for experimental rats upon a single intragastric administration was determined. It was demonstrated that, according to the number of detected statistically significant changes and deviation amplitude, Baikal vodka is less toxic.
