Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The results indicated suggested that continued ingestion (30 -days via food) could result in liver and kidney damage. The major identified metabolites of o- and m-terphenyl are glucosiduronic acids and phenols. Para-terphenyl on the other hand was poorly absorbed and a large proportion of that substance was excreted in the feces.
