Detection and Application of Ethyl Glucuronide in Forensic Toxicology

Abstract

Abstract: Ethyl glucuronide is a specific metabolite of ethanol. There have been plenty of articles refer- ring its pharmacokinetics, detection and application as a specific bio-marker of alcohol intake. This article reviews various analytical methods of EtG, relationship between EtG quantification and ethanol intake, and criteria for determining chronic alcohol abuse, and origin of ethanol found in the cadavers by EtG analysis. EtG has its potential application in forensic toxicology.

Key words: forensic toxicology, specific metabolite of ethanol, review[publication type], ethyl glucuronide
