Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 180(2), 74-82 (2002-04-24)
Percutaneous absorption and cutaneous metabolism of 2-ethoxyethanol were assessed in vivo and with an in vitro flow-through diffusion system. Topical application of undiluted (14)C-ethoxyethanol to occluded rat skin in vivo resulted in 25% of the dose being absorbed after 24
