Abstract
A method for the quantitative estimation of l:2:5:6-dibenzanthracene in the mouse is described. Estimation of dibenzanthracene at different times after intraperit. injection (2mgm.) showed that the greater part disappeared from the animal. The disappearance was more complete when the dibenzanthracene was injected dissolved in lard than when injected in the form of a colloidal solution in water. No dibenzanthracene could be detected in the excreta of such animals. Evidently the mouse is able to metabolize dibenzanthracene.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
