Results and discussion

Details on results:
Liver morphology was relatively normal in rats treated with 1,3-dichlorobenzene. 1,3-dichlorobenzene showed only minimal effects on the kidney.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Liver morphology was relatively normal in rats treated with 1, 3-dichlorobenzene or 1, 4-dichlorobenzene. In contrast to the isomers 1, 2-dichlorobenzene (especially hepatotoxicity) and 1, 4-dichlorobenzene (especially renal toxicity), 1, 3-dichlorobenzene showed only minimal effects on the kidney.
