Characterization of the Pharmacokinetics of Phosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1 and 16:0/18:2 in Human Whole Blood After Alcohol Consumption in a Clinical Laboratory Study

Abstract

Combined PEth is a sensitive biomarker for the identification of relatively low levels of EtOH consumption. The measurement of these 2 homologues may provide additional sensitivity to identify low levels of drinking.
