Studies in the Sulphur Metabolism of the Dog

Abstract

Effects of benzene and of o- and m-dichlorobenzene are similar to those of mono-chlorobenzene, suggesting that mercapturic acids are also formed from these substances. There is usually a close correspondence between the "extra" S and the halogen in organic combination excreted in urine after administration of these compounds. Toluene and o-chlorotoluene have no effect on S metabolism.
