Popis: The urinary metabolites of 4-methylheptane (4-MH) in male Fischer 344 rats, after administering the hydrocarbon by gavage, included 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-heptanone, 4-methyl-3,5-heptanediol, di-n-propyl acetic acid, 4-methyl-2,5-heptanediol, 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-1-pentanoic acid, 4-methyl-1-heptanoic acid, 4-methyl-1,4-heptanediol, 4-methyl-2,6,-heptanediol and 4-methyl-1,6-heptanediol. Metabolism strongly favored the formation of diols and carboxylic acids. The metabolites were identified using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Histopathologic examination of the kidneys revealed minimal hyaline droplet formation (α2u-globulin nephropathy) in the proximal tubule area.
