| Abstract |
Benzene disposition and metabolism were examined as a function of age in male C57BL/6N mice aged 3 and 18 months. Mice received a single oral dose of either 10 or 200 mg/kg (14)C-benzene (approximately 25 microCl/kg). Excretion of (14)C-derived benzene radioactivity (RA) was monitored in urine, feces, and as exhaled (14)CO2 from 0 to 72 hr, and as exhaled unmetabolized benzene from 0 to 6 hr. At 10 mg/kg (14)C-benzene, urinary elimination was the major route of excretion in both 3- and 18-month mice. Urinary excretion of (14)C-derived benzene RA was significantly decreased in 18- vs. 3-month mice at 4, 6, 24, and 48 hr, while fecal excretion was significantly increased at 72 hr. Elimination of (14)C-benzene as (14)CO2 and unmetabolized (14)C-benzene was also increased in 18- vs. 3-month mice at this dose. The results of these experiments indicate that total metabolism of benzene as well as metabolism to specific metabolites is affected by aging.
