Table 4. Distribution of TRI in urine.

Male and female F344 rats (175–225 g body weight) were exposed to one of three doses of TRI (2, 5, 15 mmol/kg body weight in 1 ml corn oil) by oral gavage. Animals were kept in metabolic cages for up to 48 hr. Due to the nature of the tissue or fluid sampling, each time point was represented by a separate animal. Results are pmol/ml urine and are means ± SE of measurements from 3 animals for each data point. TRI concentrations in urine were measured by GC with electron-capture detection. The limit of detection was 1.2 pmol/ml.
