General description

Ethoxyacetic acid is biomarker of exposure to widely used industrial chemicals such as alkyl-substituted ethylene glycols and other aliphatic ethers[1].

Application

Ethoxyacetic acid is metabolite of glycol ether alkoxy acid and was used to evaluate its toxicity in embryonic stem cell test in mouse[2]. It was used in zebrafish embryotoxicity test to study chemical toxicity after exposure of the complete vertebrate embryo during embryogenesis in ovo[3].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ethoxyacetic acid induces testicular toxicity in rats in vivo [4].
