Abstract
Tetralin, a component of fuels, solvents, and varnishes, is metabolized in male Fischer 344 rats to 1‐tetralol, 2‐tetralol, 2‐hydroxyl‐1‐tetralone, 4‐hydroxyl‐1‐tetralone, 1,2‐tetralindiol, and 1,4‐tetralindiol. Rats treated with tetralin demonstrated the classic lesions of hydrocarbon‐induced nephropathy.
