Numerous abnormal metabolites were identified in large amounts in the urine of hypoglycin-treated rats using capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-computer analysis. These metabolites are not detectable in significant amounts in normal rats' urine. Ten of them have not been previously associated
