Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were exposed orally to n‐butylcyclohexane and on the sixth day after ingestion, 3 to 5% of the dose of parent compound was recovered as a metabolite in the bile. The glucuronide of cis‐3‐n‐butylcyclohexanol was identified as the single metabolic product. Exposure of trout to t‐butylcyclohexane afforded the glucuronide of 4‐t‐butylcyclohexanol in a much smaller amount. Comparative studies between these two small naphthenic hydrocarbons and the corresponding aromatic molecules are also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
