| Abstract: | 1. A procedure for directly perfusing chicken kidneys in situ with xenobiotics is described. 2. When propachlor (2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide) or the glutathione, cysteine and mercapturic acid conjugates of propachlor were individually perfused through chicken kidneys, propachlor mercapturate was isolated from the urine and identified as an end product, indicating that all enzymes necessary for mercapturic acid formation were present in chicken kidney. |
