When rats were fed Abate, 60% of the material appeared in the feces 
as the oxygen analog of Abate and its sulfoxide. The thiodiphenol, sulfinyl- 
diphenol and sulfonyldiphenol were also found. In the urine, sulfate and 
glucoside conjugates of the hydrolysis products of Abate and sulfoxide and 
sulfone analogs accounted for 39.5% of the material administered. All three 
hydrolysis products were also found in the free form. Only Abate and its 
sulfoxide were found in the fatty tissue. Five compounds found in feces 
and three in urine were not identified (1640, 1733).
