## Abstract The tissue distribution, elimination and covalent binding of 2,3β^14^Cβ and 1β^14^Cβacrylonitrile (VCN) were studied in male SpragueβDawley rats given an oral dose of 46.5 mg kg^β1^. Exhalation of unchanged VCN, ^14^CO~2~ and H^14^CN was monitored at selected intervals. Only 5% of the t

## Intravenous injection of acrylonitrile (ACN) causes adrenal hemorrhagic necrosis. ACN and its metabolites react with glutathione and bind covalently with macromolecules. Hence the purpose of this investigation was to measure the distribution and covalent binding of radiolabel derived from [ 1-1
1-14C-Acrylonitrile (VCN) was given orally to rats, 27% of the given dose was excreted in bile in 6 h. When 1-14C-VCN was given to overnight fasted or cobaltous chloride treated rats, a significant increase in the biliary excretion occurred. Pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital produced no change
## Abstract Acrylonitrile (VCN) is used extensively in polymer industries, and is known to induce gastric cancer following oral administration, A paucity of information exists regarding the mechanism(s) by which acrylonitrile induces gastric neoplasia. The time course for uptake of radioactivity by
