The metabolic pathway of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) to the ring-oxygenated metabolites 2,6-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (BBQ) was examined in rats. After intraperitoneal administration of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (BHT-acid), which had been regarded as one of the major metabolic end-products of BHT
