Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
In two experiments with 5 male rabbits each and a total intraperitoneal dose of 4.45 g of undistilled ethylbenzene as well as in three experiments with 5 male rabbits each and a total intraperitoneal dose of 5.36 g of undistilled acetophenone urine was collected for 48 hours.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results of the present investigation on rabbits add omega, p- and m-hydroxyacetophenone to the known metabolites of acetophenone and ethylbenzene. According to the authours, the small amounts of these metabolites found in the urine would classify them as "minor metabolites".
