Metabolism of polycyclic compounds

Abstract
Rabbits fed on a diet containing anthracene excrete a dextrorotatory 1:2-dihydroxy-1: 2-dihydroanthracene-l-glycuronic acid. Rats fed on the same diet excrete much less glycuronic acid, but it is probable that they excrete an analogous laevorotatory compound which readily hydro-lyses to [alpha]-anthrylglycuronic acid.
