About PEth Toy
PEth is a molecule that is formed in the cell membranes of red blood cells when they are exposed to ethanol. It is a biomarker of alcohol consumption and can be used to detect and quantify alcohol intake over a period of time. The PEth concentration in the blood reflects the amount of alcohol consumed, as well as the duration of exposure to alcohol. Depending on individual factors, actual PEth levels may vary widely between individuals with the same alcohol consumption.
This tool allows you to simulate the effect of alcohol consumption on PEth levels over time. You enter your daily alcohol consumption over a 4 week period and PEth Toy then uses a simple model to estimate the PEth concentration in the blood based on the amount of alcohol consumed, the rate of PEth generation, and the half-life of PEth in the body. You can play around with the parameters to see how different factors affect the PEth levels.
1. Average Daily Consumption
Enter your typical drinks for a single day (Or leave empty. You can modify or add consumption of individual days later):
2. PEth parameters
Here you can play around with starting PEth concentration, PEth generation rate, and PEth half-life. Leave it at the defaults if unsure. You can also choose between several pre-defined values.
3. Daily consumption and PEth levels
Here you can change / enter your consumption on specific days and see the details of the calculation.
