| Abstract: | Rats fed with dietary beta- and gamma-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane excreted higher amounts of phenolics and glucuronides in the urine as compared to controls. The excretion profile of urinary phenolics and glucuronides suggested a relatively higher turnover rate of the gamma-isomer in the body as compared to the beta-isomer. Excretion of ethereal sulfate was low in hexachlorocyclohexane fed animals. |
