Methoxychlor metabolites detected in largemouth bass liver following IP injection with 25 mg/kg MXC. Values shown are pmol/g wet wt, mean ± S.E., n=3, except as indicated.
| Metabolite | 24 h | 48 h | 72 h |
|---|---|---|---|
| HPTE | N.D. – 96a | N.D | N.D. |
| OH-MXC | 87 ± 36 | 45 ± 26 | 154 ± 111 |
| MXC | 2720 ± 960 | 3370 ± 2250 | 4350 ± 1060 |
N.D. Not detected (<20 pmol/g). HPTE was not detected in two of the three 24 hr samples. The recovery of MXC, OH-MXC and HPTE from spiked liver samples was 91 ± 1%. The results shown are not corrected for recovery.
