Exposure of adult male rats to 300 ppm of toluene for 1 to 15 weeks 6 h daily caused accumulation of the solvent in brain and in perirenal fat. The body solvent content tended to decrease during extended exposure which might be explained by the enhanced activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes in liver. Our findings also indicate that metabolic and functional adaptation takes place in longer exposures to low levels of toluene vapour.
