Abstract
EARLY studies1 of the metabolism of the polycyclic hydrocarbon 3 : 4 benzypyrene showed that this compound was converted within mouse and rat tissues to one or other of two water-soluble derivatives. These were characterized physically, but not chemically identified, and for convenience in later work were labelled as BpX 1 and BpX 2.
