Resumo

Two metabolites of butylated hydroxytoluene were isolated from the livers of orally treated male rats. The major metabolite was identified as 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone, by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy and by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride. Only non-conjugated unchanged BHT was identified in samples of lung, kidney, pancreas, brain and adipose tissue from these rats.
