Studies on Ester Sulphates: 7. On the Excretion of Sulphate Conjugates of Primary Aliphatic Alcohols in the Urine of Rats

Boström, H. and A. Vestermark. On the excretion of sulphate conjugates of primary aliphatic alcohols in the urine of rats. The urinary ester sulphate patterns of rats, as visualized by autoradiography on paper chromatograms and electro‐pherograms of urine samples obtained during the first 24 hours after an injection of S35‐labelled sulphate, were studied in normal animals and those given small amounts of normal aliphatic alcohols (from methyl to amyl). Evidence is presented indicating the partial excretion in rats of all five alcohols as mono‐alkyl sulphates. The possible physiologic and clinical implications of these results are briefly discussed.
