Reductive metabolism of aromatic nitro compounds was examined with rabbit liver preparations. Under anaerobic conditions, carcinogenic 2-nitrofluorene, 4-nitrobiphenyl, and 1-nitro-naphthalene were reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamines and amines, whereas the carcinogenic 1-nitropyrene was reduced only to the corresponding amine by
