Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) has been found in biological samples in wildlife and humans. The geometric mean half-life of serum elimination of PFOS in humans has been estimated to be 4.8 years (95% CI, 4.0–5.8). A series of studies was undertaken to establish pharmacokinetic parameters for PFOS in rats, mice, and monkeys after single oral and/or IV administration of K+PFOS. Animals were followed for up to 23 weeks, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by WinNonlin® software. Rats and mice appeared to be more effective at eliminating PFOS than monkeys. The serum elimination half-lives in the rodent species were on the order of 1–2 months; whereas, in monkeys, the serum elimination half lives approximated 4 months. Collectively, these studies provide valuable insight for human health risk assessment regarding the potential for accumulation of body burden in humans on repeated exposure to PFOS and PFOS-generating materials. 相似文献

Lewisite, a potent toxic vesicant and chemical warfare agent, is used in a number of research laboratories, is stored in large quantities at depot sites throughout the USA and is occasionally transported to distant sites. Thus, the potential for environmental or occupational exposure exists where lewisite is present. A 42-week two-generation study was conducted to determine the reproductive consequences of lewisite in parental male and female rats and their offspring. Rats were administered lewisite in sesame oil (0, 0.10, 0.25 or 0.60 mg kg-1 day-1 for 5 days a week) via intragastic intubation before mating, during mating and after mating until the birth of their offspring. The dams continued to receive lewisite during lactation. At weaning, male and female offspring of each group were selected to continue the study, receiving lewisite during adolescence, mating and throughout gestation and lactation. Lewisite had no adverse effect on reproduction performance, fertility or reproductive organ weights of male or female rats through two consecutive generations. No adverse effects to offspring were attributed to lewisite exposure. Minor changes in growth were the only maternal effects observed. Lewisite exposure of parental rats caused no gross or microscopic lesion in testes, epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicles, ovaries, uterus or vagina. The no-observable-effect level (NOEL) for the reproductive effects of Lewisite would be > 0.60 mg kg-1 day-1. 相似文献

Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is a commercial plasticizer with low toxicity in many animal studies. The effects of dietary DIDP administration on fertility and developmental parameters were assessed in Sprague-Dawley rats utilizing two generation reproductive toxicity studies generally consistent with current regulatory guidelines. Dietary levels ranged from 0.02 to 0.8% (or approximately 15 to 600 mg/kg/day). In the reproductive studies, there were no effects on fertility, but there were decreases in adult body weight along with corresponding increases in liver and kidney weights and histopathologic changes indicative of peroxisomal proliferation. There were no effects on live birth index, but reduced offspring survival was observed at postnatal days 1 to 4. This reduced survival was more pronounced in the F2 generation in which statistical significance was achieved at levels of 0.2% DIDP and greater. There were also transient decreases in offspring body weights prior to weaning, corresponding to rapid offspring growth, and high levels of food consumption. There were no notable alterations in developmental landmarks. Overall, these studies provided experimentally defined No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Levels (NOAELs) of 0.06% (approximately 50 mg/kg/day) for F2 offspring survival and 0.8% (approximately 600 mg/kg/day) for fertility, other measures of reproductive function, and developmental landmarks. Statistical evaluation of the data from both studies identified 108 mg/kg/day with a 95% lower bound value of 86 mg/kg/day as a theoretical NOAEL for reduced F2 offspring survival. 相似文献

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is one of a class of industrial chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl acids, which have a wide variety of uses as surfactants and stain repellants. The presence of fluorochemical residues in human blood, plasma, or serum from sample populations worldwide is indicative of widespread human exposure. Previous studies demonstrated that PFOS alters fatty acid metabolism in the liver of rodents and that this leads to peroxisome proliferation. This study was undertaken to (1) confirm the effects of PFOS on rat liver, (2) identify additional target organs and systems, and (3) further explore the biochemical and molecular changes associated with PFOS exposure. The results confirmed that liver was a primary target for PFOS. Hepatomegaly, decreased serum triglycerides and cholesterol, and increased expression of the genes for acyl-coenzymeA oxidase 1 (ACOX1) and cytochrome P-450 4A22 (CYP4A22) were indicative of exposure to a peroxisome proliferator. Changes in liver fatty acid profiles included increased total monounsaturated fatty acid levels and decreased total polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as an increase in linoleic acid levels and a decrease in longer chain fatty acids. These changes were similar to those induced by relatively weak peroxisome proliferators. Disruptions in hepatic fatty acid metabolism may contribute to changes in red blood cell membranes, resulting in increased lysis and cell fragility. Serum thyroid hormone levels were decreased in PFOS-treated rats, while the kidney and cardiovascular systems were not significant targets. Residue analyses indicated that PFOS accumulation in tissues was dose dependent, appearing preferentially in the liver at lower doses but increasing in serum and other organs relative to liver at higher doses. 相似文献

The potential reproductive toxicity of di-isononyl phthalate (DINP: CAS RN 68515-48-0) was assessed in one- and two-generation reproductive toxicity studies. Groups of 30 male and female CRL : CD(SD)BR rats were given DINP via dietary administration at levels of either 0.0, 0.5, 1, or 1.5% (one-generation study) or 0.0, 0.2, 0. 4, or 0.8% (two-generation study). There were no changes in any of the classic reproductive parameters, i.e. mating, male or female fertility, fecundity, gestational index, or length of gestation in either study. The overall NOAELs for these effects were the highest Dietary Level (%)s tested, approximately 500 mg/kg/day in the two-generation study and 1000 mg/kg/day in the one-generation study. There were no testicular effects in parental animals exposed as juveniles and young adults at 960 mg/kg/day in the one-generation study. In the two-generation study, there were no testicular effects in either the P(1) males, exposed as juveniles and young adults or the P(2) (F(1)) offspring exposed in utero, through lactation, and continuously to terminal sacrifice. The NOAEL was 470 mg/kg/day. Offspring survival was reduced at the 1.5% level ( approximately 1100 mg/kg/day) but unaffected at the 1% level ( approximately 760 mg/kg/day). There were decreased offspring body weights both at postnatal day (PND) 0 and during lactation; however, the PND 0 effects were only clearly related to treatment at the 1.5% level. Weights of offspring during lactation were significantly reduced but within the historical control range at Dietary Level (%)s below 1%. As there was rapid recovery at the lower levels, even though treatment continued, the toxicologic significance is unclear. Adult survival was unaffected at any level in either study, but weight gain was significantly reduced at the 1% level ( approximately 600 mg/kg/day). Liver and kidney weights were elevated at Dietary Level (%)s above approximately 110 mg/kg/day, consistent with evidence from other studies of peroxisomal proliferation at these levels. This study showed that DINP treatment does not affect fertility or male reproductive development at doses of up to approximately 1000 mg/kg/day. 相似文献

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a widely distributed, environmentally persistent acid found at low levels in human, wildlife, and environmental media samples. Neonatal mortality has been observed following PFOS exposure in a two-generation reproduction study in rats and after dosing pregnant rats and mice during gestation. Objectives of the current study were to better define the dose-response curve for neonatal mortality in rat pups born to PFOS-exposed dams and to investigate biochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters potentially related to the etiology of effects observed in neonatal rat pups. In the current study, additional doses of 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 2.0 mg/kg/day were included with original doses used in the two-generation study of 0.4 and 1.6 mg/kg/day in order to obtain data in the critical range of the dose-response curve. Biochemical parameters investigated in dams and litters included: (1) serum lipids, glucose, mevalonic acid, and thyroid hormones; (2) milk cholesterol; and (3) liver lipids. Pharmacokinetic parameters investigated included the interrelationship of administered oral dose of PFOS to maternal body burden of PFOS and the transfer of maternal body burden to the fetus in utero and pup during lactation, as these factors may affect neonatal toxicity. Dosing of dams occurred for 6 weeks prior to mating with untreated breeder males, through confirmed mating, gestation, and day four of lactation. Dose levels for the dose-response and etiological investigation were 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0 mg/kg/day PFOS. Statistically significant decreases in gestation length were observed in the 0.8 mg/kg and higher dose groups. Decreases in viability through lactation day 5 were observed in the 0.8 mg/kg and higher dose groups, becoming statistically significant in the 1.6 and 2.0 mg/kg dose groups. Reduced neonatal survival did not appear to be the result of reductions in lipids, glucose utilization, or thyroid hormones. The endpoints of gestation length and decreased viability were positively correlated, suggesting that late-stage fetal development may be affected in pups exposed to PFOS in utero and may contribute to the observed mortality. Benchmark dose (BMD) estimates for decreased gestation length, birth weight, pup weight on lactation day 5, pup weight gain through lactation day 5, and viability resulted in values ranging from 0.27 to 0.89mg/kg/day for the lower 95% confidence limit of the BMD5 (BMDL5). Results of analyses for PFOS in biological matrices indicate a linear proportionality of mean serum PFOS concentration to maternal administered dose prior to mating and through the first two trimesters of gestation. However, at 21 days of gestation, mean serum PFOS concentrations were notably reduced from values measured earlier in gestation. Urinary and fecal elimination was low as expected from prior observations in adult rats. Significant transfer of PFOS from dam to fetus in utero was confirmed, and results suggest that dam and corresponding fetal body burdens, as indicated by serum and liver PFOS levels, correlate with neonatal survival. 相似文献

Perchlorate is an inorganic ion that has recently been detected in drinking water supplies throughout the country, but little is known about its effects on reproductive function. This two-generation reproductive study examines the effects of ammonium perchlorate on the male and female reproductive systems in rats, and on the growth and development of offspring. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (30/sex/group) were given continuous access to ammonium perchlorate in their drinking water at doses of 0, 0.3, 3.0, and 30.0 mg/kg-day. F1 generation rats were given the same ammonium perchlorate doses as their respective P1 generation sires and dams beginning at weaning and continuing through the day of sacrifice. Standard reproductive parameters were evaluated; blood was collected for determination of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) levels. Histopathological examination was conducted on major tissues, including the thyroid. No significant changes in developmental parameters were observed. In the F1 generation adult rats, relative thyroid weights were significantly increased in all dose groups for female rats and in the 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg-day dose groups for male rats. Histopathologic changes in the thyroid consisted of hypertrophy and hyperplasia that increased in incidence and severity in a dose-related manner. Dose-related, statistically significant changes in TSH and T4 or T3 occurred at doses higher than those that resulted in changes in thyroid weight and thyroid histopathology, 30 mg/kg-day. Thus, perchlorate is not a reproductive toxicant in rats when administered in the drinking water at doses up to 30 mg/kg-day, but it can affect the thyroid at doses > or =3 mg/kg-day. Based on these findings, 0.3 mg/kg-day is identified to be the no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for this study. 相似文献

This study evaluated the potential reproductive toxicity of phenol in a rat two-generation reproduction study, which included additional study endpoints, such as sperm count and motility, developmental landmarks, histological evaluation of suspect target organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, and thymus), weanling reproductive organ weights, and an immunotoxicity screening plaque assay. Phenol was administered to 30 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex/group in the drinking water at concentrations of 0, 200, 1000, or 5000 ppm. Parental (P1) animals were treated for 10 weeks prior to mating, during mating, gestation, lactation, and until sacrifice. The F1 generation (P1 offspring) was treated using a similar regimen, while the F2 generation was not treated. After mating, 10 P1 males/group were evaluated using standard clinical pathology parameters and an immunotoxicity screening plaque assay. Significant reductions in water and food consumption were observed in the 5000-ppm group in both generations; corollary reductions in body weight/body weight gain were also observed. Mating performance and fertility in both generations were similar to controls, and no adverse effects on vaginal cytology or male reproductive function were observed. Vaginal opening and preputial separation were delayed in the 5000-ppm group, and were considered to be secondary to the reduction in F1 body weight. Litter survival of both generations was reduced in the 5000-ppm group. Absolute uterus and prostate weights were decreased in the F1 generation at all dose levels; however, no underlying pathology was observed and there was no functional deficit in reproductive performance. Therefore, these findings were not considered to be adverse. No evidence of immunotoxicity was noted in the 5000-ppm group. The effects noted at the high concentration were presumed to be associated with flavor aversion to phenol in the drinking water. Based on a comprehensive examination of all parameters, the no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity of phenol administered in drinking water to rats is 1000 ppm. The corresponding daily intake of phenol for an adult rat at the NOAEL of 1000 ppm is equivalent to about 70 mg/kg/day for males and 93 mg/kg/day for females. 相似文献

Adult male and female CD rats (F0) were dosed with glutaraldehyde (GA; CAS number 111-30-8) in drinking water at concentrations of 0 (controls), 50, 250, or 1000 ppm for a 10-wk prebreed period and through mating, gestation, and lactation. Resultant F1 offspring, selected to be parents of the next generation, were continued on the same regime from prebreed through lactation. Twenty-eight parental animals per sex per generation for each dose group were evaluated for clinical signs, body weight (absolute and gain), and water and food consumption. The offspring were evaluated for survival and body weight to weaning. Necropsy and light microscopic examination of removed tissues were conducted in all F0 and F1 parents and in 10 offspring/sex/group/generation. Average daily consumptions of GA (as mean +/- SD) for the low, intermediate, and high concentrations were respectively 4.25 +/- 0.87, 17.50 +/- 4.16, and 69.07 +/- 14.58 mg/kg/d for F0 parental males, and 6.68 +/- 0.78, 28.28 +/- 4.09, and 98.37 +/- 11.71 mg/kg/d for F0 parental females. The corresponding values for the F1 parents were 4.53 +/- 1.02, 21.95 +/- 4.88, and 71.08 +/- 16.21 mg/kg/d for males and 6.72 +/- 0.84, 29.57 +/- 5.41, and 99.56 +/- 16.72 mg/kg/d for females. There were no effects on parental fertility and mating performance or on pup viability and litter size in any generation. No apparent treatment-related histopathology was seen in parents or offspring. Parental body weights and body weight gains were significantly reduced at 1000 ppm at a few isolated time periods, particularly during prebreed. Food consumption was significantly reduced at 1000 ppm for F0 and F1 parents during the prebreed and gestation periods, and at 250 ppm for F0 males during prebreed and gestation and F1 females during gestation and lactation. Water consumption by the F0 and F1 parents of the 250 at 1000 ppm groups was reduced throughout the prebreed period. At 1000 ppm, average litter weights were reduced over lactation d 21-28 for the F1 and F2 offspring. The no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for adult toxicity was 50 ppm and for offspring 250 ppm. There were no indications of reproductive toxicity, and the NOEL for this study was therefore > 1000 ppm. 相似文献

Di-(C(7)-C(9) alkyl) phthalate (D79P) and di-(C(9)-C(11) alkyl) phthalate (D911P), based on high-normality linear oxo-alcohols, have been assessed for their impact upon reproductive performance in Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were continuously exposed to either D79P or D911P at dietary levels of 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, or 1.0% over two generations. Selected F(0) offspring (F(1) generation) were exposed to the same dietary concentration of D79P or D911P as the respective F(0) animals, and were mated to produce F(1) offspring. Both D79P and D911P markedly reduced body weight gain in F(0) and F(1) adult males at the highest dose, but females were affected to a lesser extent. There was no impairment of fertility, fecundity, or development in either generation, but body weights of offspring in the 1.0% D79P and 1.0% D911P groups were slightly and transiently reduced over the weaning period. Although decreases in the weight of several organs were accounted for by depressed body weight, ovary weights were reduced in both generations exposed to 1.0% D79P, and epididymidal weights were slightly reduced in adults of both generations exposed to 1.0% D911P. However, ovarian function-assessed by the oestrus cycle and mating behaviour-and epididymidal sperm concentration, motility, and morphology were unaffected by either substance. Treatment resulted in liver changes, particularly in males, characterised by increased liver weight in young animals, histopathologic changes and reduced organ weight in mature animals, and an increase in palmitoyl CoA oxidase activity. In conclusion, neither D79P nor D911P impaired reproductive function in rats when administered in the diet at levels that induce systemic toxicity, and the NOAEL for effects on reproduction in the rat is 0.5% for both D79P and D911P. 相似文献

The potential for sodium chlorite to produce reproductive toxicity, developmental neurotoxicity and alterations in hematology and thyroid hormones was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats administered sodium chlorite in the drinking water continuously for two generations. The F(0) generation animals (30 of each gender per group) and F(1) generation animals (25 of each gender per group) selected to rear the F(2) generation were allowed free access to drinking water containing 0, 35, 70 or 300 ppm sodium chlorite for a 10-week prebreed period, through mating for males and through mating, gestation and lactation for females. These drinking water concentrations corresponded to sodium chlorite doses of approximately 4, 8 and 30 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for males and 5, 10 and 39 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for females, respectively. Evaluations included standard reproductive and postnatal indices, sperm morphology and motility, estrous cyclicity, a functional observational battery, motor activity, auditory startle, swim maze, hematology, serum thyroid hormone analyses and histopathology of reproductive and nervous system tissues. Sodium chlorite resulted in a decrease in water consumption in all groups and a decrease in food consumption and body weights in the 70 and 300 ppm groups. There was no evidence of reproductive toxicity. Pup body weight was decreased in the 300 ppm group and small delays were observed in the time to preputial separation and vaginal opening. Mild anemia and mild methemoglobinemia were observed for animals in the 300 ppm group. Thyroid hormone levels were not affected by treatment. Changes to the nervous system were limited to small decreases in amplitude of auditory startle response for postnatal day (PND) 25 pups in the 70 and 300 ppm groups and a small decrease in absolute brain weight for PND 11 pups in the 300 ppm group. These effects were considered to be of questionable neurotoxicological significance. Based on the results of this study, the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for effects on reproduction and thyroid hormones is 300 ppm. The no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAEL) for hematological toxicity and neurotoxicity are considered to be 70 and 300 ppm, respectively. 相似文献

Two-generation reproductive toxicity study of inhaled acrylonitrile vapors in Crl:CD(SD) rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To assess the effects of acrylonitrile (AN) exposure on reproduction, Sprague-Dawley rats (25/sex/group) were exposed to vapor atmospheres of AN via whole-body inhalation at concentrations of 0, 5, 15, 45 (two offspring generations) and 90 ppm (one offspring generation), 6 h daily, 1 litter/generation, through F2 weanlings on postnatal day 28. After approximately 3 weeks of direct exposure following weaning, exposure of the F1 animals at 90 ppm was terminated due to excessive systemic toxicity in the males. There were no exposure-related mortalities in adult animals, no functional effects on reproduction or effects on reproductive organs, and no evidence of cumulative toxicity or of enhanced toxicity in pregnant and lactating dams or in developing animals. Adult systemic toxicity was limited to body weight and/or food consumption deficits in both sexes and generations (greater in males) at 45 and 90 ppm and increased liver weights in the 90 ppm F0 males and females and 45 ppm F1 males. Neonatal toxicity was expressed by F1 offspring weight decrements at 90 ppm. Clinical signs of local irritation during and immediately following exposure were observed at 90 ppm. Microscopic lesions of the rostral nasal epithelium, representing local site-of-contact irritation, were observed in some animals at 5 to 45 ppm. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity over two generations and neonatal toxicity of AN administered to rats via whole-body inhalation was 45 ppm. The NOAEL for reproduction was 90 ppm for the first generation. The NOAEL for parental systemic toxicity was 15 ppm. 相似文献

As a ubiquitous and highly persistent environmental contaminant, the clear mechanisms to explain any perfluorooctanesulfonate
(PFOS)-induced immunotoxicity are still unknown. This study here sought to examine the ability of PFOS to potentially perturb
T-helper (TH)-1 and TH-2 cell cytokine secreting activities, as well as to cause shifts in antibody isotype levels, and possible mechanisms involved
in PFOS-induced immunotoxicity. Adult male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to PFOS daily via gavage for 60 days [0, 0.5, 1, 5, 25,
or 50 mg/kg total administered dose (TAD)]. One day after the final exposure, the ex vivo production of the TH1-type cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-γ), TH2-type (IL-4), and IL-10 cytokines by isolated splenocytes, serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) were assessed via ELISA or
ELISPOT. The results showed that IL-4 secretion was increased at exposure ≥5 mg PFOS/kg TAD in a dose-dependent manner. PFOS
exposure increased IL-10 but decreased IL-2 and IFN-γ formation markedly at 50 mg PFOS/kg TAD. Serum levels of sheep red blood
cells (SRBC)-specific IgM synthesis decreased significantly with PFOS exposure in a dose-related manner; serum SRBC-specific
IgG, IgG1, and IgE levels increased with 50 mg PFOS/kg TAD regimens. These results indicated that, after a long-term exposure
to PFOS, a host’s immune state is likely to be characterized by a shift toward a more TH2-like state that, in turn, may lead to enhancement of their humoral response and suppression of their cellular response at
levels of upper range for occupationally exposed workers or approximately 150-fold for general human population. 相似文献

Carmoisine (C.I. (1956) No. 14720) was fed at levels of 0, 0.35, 0.8 and 2.0% in the diet of rats throughout a multigeneration reproduction study. The dye had not untoward effects on reproduction capacity of any of the generations studied. Fertility, lactation and viability indices of all groups fed carmoisine did not differ significantly from controls at any stage of the study. These results indicate a maximum no-effect level of 2% in the diet. Data from an additional nine-week feeding study (dietary levels were 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) suggest that the no-effect level may in fact be even higher since 4% carmoisine in the diet was tolerated without evidence of overt toxicity. 相似文献

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a widespread contaminant in the environment, as well as in wildlife and in humans. Toxicity
tests in rodents have raised concerns about potential developmental, reproductive, and systemic effects of PFOS. However,
there is little information about the effect of PFOS on immune system. In this study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were given by
gavage 0, 5, 20 or 40 mg PFOS/kg day−1 for 7 days. The results showed that PFOS exposure decreased food intake and body weight and increased liver mass and serum
corticosterone levels in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the number of lymphocytic subpopulation
cells decreased significantly in 20 or 40 mg PFOS/kg day−1 group in comparison with normal C57BL/6 mice. Treatment with PFOS also markedly depressed the natural killer (NK) cell activity,
lymphocyte proliferation and the plaque-forming cell (PFC) response. These results indicate that PFOS exposure can affect
the immunity function in mice. 相似文献

In a two-generation reproductive toxicity study, male and female rats were given aluminium sulfate (AS) in drinking water at 0, 120, 600 or 3000 ppm. AS reduced water consumption in all treatment groups, and body weight was transiently decreased in the 3000 ppm group. In the F1 and F2 pups, preweaning body weight gain was inhibited at 3000 ppm, and the liver and spleen weight was decreased at weaning. At this dose, vaginal opening was slightly delayed. There were no compound-related changes in other reproductive/developmental parameters, including developmental neurobehavioral endpoints. The data indicated that the NOAEL of AS in this two-generation study is 600 ppm for parental systemic toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity. The total ingested dose of aluminium from drinking water and food (standard rat diet, containing 25-29 ppm of aluminium) combined for this 600 ppm group was calculated to be 8.06 mg Al/kg bw/day. 相似文献
