Beschreibungen/Notizen

• It is shown that injection of propyl alcohol gives rise to the formation of acid, which is ethersoluble, volatile and is extracted by toluene at the same rate as propionic acid, so that it is made very probable that this acid is formed. At the same time the concentration of another ethersoluble but not toluenesoluble acid increases. Probably it is an accumulation of lactic acid. Propionic acid seems to be formed and eliminated at a constant rate partly independent of the concentration of propyl alcohol.
