Any other information on results incl. tables
It was found that cresol administered via the stomach tube diffused directly through the gastric and small intestinal walls because the conjugate cresol concentration were extremely high not only in the liver, but also in the spleen. The unconjugates of cresol in the liver, spleen and kidney were detected in high concentrations even when the unconjugates were not detedcted in the blood. m-Cresol was easily metabolized to sulfate and the p-cresol to glucuronide in rats.The concentration ratios of m-cresol to p-cresol in blood and organs were different from the rate of the cresol soap solution that was administered. The pharmacokinetics was different between p-cresol and m-cresol in rats.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
It was found that cresol adinistered via the stomach tube to rats diffused directly through the gastric and small intestinal walls.
