In vitro experiments showed that excised ethmoturbinates of late gestational fetuses and neonatal rats have a marked ability to metabolize [14C-ethyl]phenacetin as determined by 14CO2 formation. Autoradiography of fetuses injected in utero with [14C-ethyl]phenacetin on day 22 of gestation showed a selective uptake and binding of radioactivity in the mucosa of the ethmoturbinates.
