We determined the effects of phenol and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (Syringol) on N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) formation in rats given morpholine and nitrite by gavage. METHODS AND RESULTS: At 30 min post-gavage the recovery (from the stomach, duodenum and blood) of 564 micrograms NMOR was six times higher when administered to rats by gavage with 2 g of ...
