Results and discussion

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
not measured
Details on metabolites:
Post exposure there was an increase in exhaled alkanes and indication of lipid peroxidation.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Total cytochrome P-450 levels in the liver and kidney were decreased to 25 -30% of the control animals. Levels were normal 2 hours later.

Cytochrome P-450 I levels were decreased to 35 -44% of the control animals. Levels were 80% 2 hours later.
