No sex differences could been shown after absorption and distribution of azoxybenzen in the rat. The highest level occur in the thyroid gland, the adrenals and in the fat tissues. The maximum level was reached 30 min. after application. Azoxybenzen is degraded via azobenzene hydrazobenzene and aniline. The main pathway leds to the formation of 2-hydroxyazobenzen.
