title: [Use of a volatile substrate to explore oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics in the rabbit lung].
abstract: A demethylation breath test was modeled in rabbits receiving 14C-anisole either by the intravenous route or by inhalation. The exhalation rate of 14CO2 was measured in a metabolic cage. The modeling hypothesis involved two metabolic compartments: a "central" compartment receiving the infusion, and a "pulmonary" compartment receiving the inhalation. The modeling succeeded in identifying a highly significant metabolic contribution of the lungs following inhalation of the substrate.
