Abstract
Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen with widespread exposure via food. The present study compared acrylamide intake measurements obtained from haemoglobin adduct levels and self-registered dietary consumption data in a group of 144 Norwegian healthy adults. Acrylamide adducts to N-terminal valine in haemoglobin were measured and used to estimate the intake via the internal dose approach which showed a median (interquartile range) of 0.24 (0.19-0.30) μg/kg bw/day. Data from weighed food records and food frequency questionnaires from the same individuals were used for probabilistic modelling of the intake of acrylamide. The median acrylamide intake was calculated to be 0.26 (0.16-0.39) and 0.30 (0.23-0.39) μg/kg bw/day, respectively from the two sources of self-registered dietary consumption data. Overall, a relatively good agreement was observed between the methods in pairwise comparison in Bland-Altman plots, with the methods disagreeing with 7% or less of the values. The intake estimates obtained with the two dietary consumption methods and one biomarker method are in line with earlier dietary estimates in the Norwegian population. The Margin of Exposure indicate a possible health risk concern from dietary acrylamide. This is the first study with a comparison in the same individuals of acrylamide intake estimates obtained with these methods.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27515-y. [PMID: 37213021 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27515-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, and acrylamide is a chemical produced when foods are processed at high temperatures. Recent epidemiological research linked acrylamide exposure from the diet and environment to a number of medical disorders. However, whether acrylamide exposure is associated with OA is still uncertain. This study was aimed at assessing the relationship between OA and hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and its metabolite glycidamide (HbAA and HbGA). Data were taken from four cycles of the US NHANES database (2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2013-2014, 2015-2016). Individuals aged between 40 and 84 years who had complete information on arthritic status as well as HbAA and HbGA levels were eligible for inclusion. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis s was performed to determine associations between study variables and OA. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to examine non-linear associations between the acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers and prevalent OA. A total of 5314 individuals were included and 954 (18%) had OA. After adjusting for relevant confounders, the highest quartiles (vs. lowest) of HbAA (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.63-1.21), HbGA (aOR = 0.82, 95% CI, 0.60-1.12), HbAA + HbGA (aOR = 0.86, 95% CI, 0.63-1.19), and HbGA/HbAA (aOR = 0.88, 95% CI, 0.63--1.25) were not significantly associated with greater odds for OA. RCS analysis revealed that HbAA, HbGA, and HbAA + HbGA levels were non-linearly and inversely associated with OA (p for non-linearity < 0.001). However, the HbGA/HbAA ratio displayed a U-shaped relationship with prevalent OA. In conclusion, acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers are non-linearly associated with prevalent OA in a general US population. These findings implicate ongoing public health concerns for widespread exposure to acrylamide. Further studies are still warranted to address the causality and biologic mechanisms underlying the association.

Literature review and evaluation of biomarkers, matrices and analytical methods for chemicals selected in the research program Human Biomonitoring for the European Union (HBM4EU). ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 169:107458. [PMID: 36179646 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Humans are potentially exposed to a large amount of chemicals present in the environment and in the workplace. In the European Human Biomonitoring initiative (Human Biomonitoring for the European Union = HBM4EU), acrylamide, mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1), diisocyanates (4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate), and pyrethroids were included among the prioritized chemicals of concern for human health. For the present literature review, the analytical methods used in worldwide biomonitoring studies for these compounds were collected and presented in comprehensive tables, including the following parameter: determined biomarker, matrix, sample amount, work-up procedure, available laboratory quality assurance and quality assessment information, analytical techniques, and limit of detection. Based on the data presented in these tables, the most suitable methods were recommended. According to the paradigm of biomonitoring, the information about two different biomarkers of exposure was evaluated: a) internal dose = parent compounds and metabolites in urine and blood; and b) the biologically effective = dose measured as blood protein adducts. Urine was the preferred matrix used for deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1, and pyrethroids (biomarkers of internal dose). Markers of the biological effective dose were determined as hemoglobin adducts for diisocyanates and acrylamide, and as serum-albumin-adducts of aflatoxin B1 and diisocyanates. The analyses and quantitation of the protein adducts in blood or the metabolites in urine were mostly performed with LC-MS/MS or GC-MS in the presence of isotope-labeled internal standards. This review also addresses the critical aspects of the application, use and selection of biomarkers. For future biomonitoring studies, a more comprehensive approach is discussed to broaden the selection of compounds.

Abstract
Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a very useful tool for assessing human exposure to acrylamide (AA). In the framework of the Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) AA was included in its second list of priority substances due to the potential threat to human health. HBM data on AA are scarce, but the use of specific and sensitive biomarkers represents a reliable indicator of exposure. In this review an overview of available knowledge on HBM of AA is provided in terms of: i) preferred exposure biomarkers and matrices for the HBM of AA; ii) analytical methods for determining its biomarkers of exposure in the most used specimens; iii) current HBM data available; and iv) tools for interpreting HBM data for AA in relation to risk assessment. Finally, future trends in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Acrylamide forms in many commonly consumed foods. In animals, acrylamide causes tumors, neurotoxicity, developmental and reproductive effects. Acrylamide crosses the placenta and has been associated with restriction of intrauterine growth and certain cancers. The impact on human health is poorly understood and it is impossible to say what level of dietary exposure to acrylamide can be deemed safe as the assessment of exposure is uncertain. The determination of hemoglobin (Hb) adducts from acrylamide is increasingly being used to improve the exposure assessment of acrylamide. We aim to outline the literature on Hb adduct levels from acrylamide in humans and discuss methodological issues and research gaps. A total of 86 studies of 27,966 individuals from 19 countries were reviewed. Adduct levels were highest in occupationally exposed individuals and smokers. Levels ranged widely from 3 to 210 pmol/g Hb in non-smokers and this wide range suggests that dietary exposure to acrylamide varies largely. Non-smokers from the US and Canada had slightly higher levels as compared with non-smokers from elsewhere, but differences within studies were larger than between studies. Large studies with exposure assessment of acrylamide and related adduct forming compounds from diet during early-life are encouraged for the evaluation of health effects.

Abstract
Ethylene oxide (EO), acrylamide (AA) and glycidamide (GA) exposures are associated with mammary tumors in animals. Currently available information about human exposure to these chemicals is limited creating the need for analytical methods to assess their exposure. We developed a sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method to simultaneously quantitate hemoglobin (Hb) N-terminal valine adducts of AA (HbAA), GA (HbGA), and EO (HbEO) using modified Edman reaction. The limits of detection of this method were 3.9, 4.9 and 12.9 in pmol/g Hb for HbAA, HbGA and HbEO, respectively. The among-day and within-day precision for all analytes determined with three levels of quality control pools ranged from 2.2-13.0% in percent coefficient of variation (%CV). The accuracy determined by standard addition was between 94 and 111% among all analytes. The median HbAA, HbGA and HbEO values in 34 self-reported non-smokers were 64.9, 45.3 and 113.6 pmol/g Hb and in 70 self-reported smokers were 127.8, 69.6 and 237.1 pmol/g Hb, respectively. HbAA, HbGA, and HbEO were detectable in all samples suggesting that the described method is suitable for measuring hemoglobin adducts of AA, GA and EO in the general population. This high throughput method can process 148 samples in 8 h. The HbEO/HbGA ratio appears independent of the HbAA levels in non-smokers and decreases with increasing HbAA concentration in smokers. This new method is suitable for measuring human exposure to AA, GA and EO and can provide further insight into the metabolism of these chemicals in humans.

Abstract
Exposure assessment is a fundamental part of the risk assessment paradigm, but can often present a number of challenges and uncertainties. This is especially the case for process contaminants formed during the processing, e.g. heating of food, since they are in part highly reactive and/or volatile, thus making exposure assessment by analysing contents in food unreliable. New approaches are therefore required to accurately assess consumer exposure and thus better inform the risk assessment. Such novel approaches may include the use of biomarkers, physiologically based kinetic (PBK) modelling-facilitated reverse dosimetry, and/or duplicate diet studies. This review focuses on the state of the art with respect to the use of biomarkers of exposure for the process contaminants acrylamide, 3-MCPD esters, glycidyl esters, furan and acrolein. From the overview presented, it becomes clear that the field of assessing human exposure to process-related contaminants in food by biomarker monitoring is promising and strongly developing. The current state of the art as well as the existing data gaps and challenges for the future were defined. They include (1) using PBK modelling and duplicate diet studies to establish, preferably in humans, correlations between external exposure and biomarkers; (2) elucidation of the possible endogenous formation of the process-related contaminants and the resulting biomarker levels; (3) the influence of inter-individual variations and how to include that in the biomarker-based exposure predictions; (4) the correction for confounding factors; (5) the value of the different biomarkers in relation to exposure scenario's and risk assessment, and (6) the possibilities of novel methodologies. In spite of these challenges it can be concluded that biomarker-based exposure assessment provides a unique opportunity to more accurately assess consumer exposure to process-related contaminants in food and thus to better inform risk assessment.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is an environmental chemical classified as a human carcinogen. It is highly reactive and can bind covalently with hemoglobin (Hb) to produce Hb adducts. Measurement of these Hb adducts provides valuable information about exposure to this chemical. We developed a robust, ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for quantifying FA-Hb adducts in red blood cells. The method measures the FA-VHLTPEEK peptide after trypic digestion. The peptide is a FA adduct at the N-terminus of the beta chain of human Hb. Method mean (±SD) accuracy, determined by recovery in quality control and blank material was 103.2% ± 8.11. The mean among-day and within-day coefficients of variation determined at three concentration levels (%CV) were 9.2% (range: 7.2-10.2%) and 4.9% (range 3.1-7.3%), respectively. The limit of detection was 3.4 nmol/g Hb. This method was applied to the analysis of 135 human blood samples, and FA-VHLTPEEK was detected in all study samples. FA-VHLTPEEK concentrations were not significantly different between smokers and nonsmokers. This work is the first validated UPLC-MS/MS method in which a FA peptide derived from a FA-Hb adduct could be used to monitor exposure to FA in population studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acrylamide was classified as 'probably carcinogenic' to humans in 1994 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In 2002, public health concern increased when acrylamide was identified in starchy, plant-based foods, processed at high temperatures. The purpose of this study was to identify which food groups and lifestyle variables were determinants of hemoglobin adduct concentrations of acrylamide (HbAA) and glycidamide (HbGA) in 801 non-smoking postmenopausal women from eight countries in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. METHODS Biomarkers of internal exposure were measured in red blood cells (collected at baseline) by high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) . In this cross-sectional analysis, four dependent variables were evaluated: HbAA, HbGA, sum of total adducts (HbAA + HbGA), and their ratio (HbGA/HbAA). Simple and multiple regression analyses were used to identify determinants of the four outcome variables. All dependent variables (except HbGA/HbAA) and all independent variables were log-transformed (log2) to improve normality. Median (25th-75th percentile) HbAA and HbGA adduct levels were 41.3 (32.8-53.1) pmol/g Hb and 34.2 (25.4-46.9) pmol/g Hb, respectively. RESULTS The main food group determinants of HbAA, HbGA, and HbAA + HbGA were biscuits, crackers, and dry cakes. Alcohol intake and body mass index were identified as the principal determinants of HbGA/HbAA. The total percent variation in HbAA, HbGA, HbAA + HbGA, and HbGA/HbAA explained in this study was 30, 26, 29, and 13 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Dietary and lifestyle factors explain a moderate proportion of acrylamide adduct variation in non-smoking postmenopausal women from the EPIC cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Acrylamide is present in mainstream cigarette smoke and in some food prepared at high temperature. Animal studies have shown that acrylamide exposure reduces body weight. Prenatal exposure to acrylamide also has been linked to reduced birth weight in human. Whether acrylamide exposure is associated with altered body compositions in adults is not clear. SUBJECTS/METHODS We selected 3623 subjects (aged ⩾20 years) from a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2003-2004 to determine the relationship among hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide (HbAA), hemoglobin adducts of glycidamide (HbGA) and body composition (body measures, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)). Data were adjusted for potential confounding variables. RESULTS The geometric means and 95% CI concentrations of HbAA and HbGA were 60.48 (59.32-61.65) pmol/g Hb and 55.64 (54.40-56.92) pmol/g Hb, respectively. After weighting for sampling strategy, we identified that one-unit increase in natural log-HbAA, but not HbGA, was associated with reduction in body measures (body weight, body mass index (BMI), subscapular/triceps skinfold), parameters of BIA (fat-free mass, fat mass, percent body fat, total body water) and parameters of DXA (android fat mass, android percent fat, gynoid fat/lean mass, gynoid percent mass, android to gynoid ratio). Subgroup analysis showed that these associations were more evident in subjects at younger age, male gender, whites, lower education level, active smokers and those with lower BMI. CONCLUSIONS Higher concentrations of HbAA are associated with a decrease in body composition in the US general population. Further studies are warranted to clarify this association.

Acrylamide and glycidamide hemoglobin adduct levels and endometrial cancer risk: A nested case-control study in nonsmoking postmenopausal women from the EPIC cohort. Int J Cancer 2016; 138:1129-38.

Abstract
Acrylamide, classified in 1994 by IARC as "probably carcinogenic to humans," was discovered in 2002 in some heat-treated, carbohydrate-rich foods. Four prospective studies have evaluated the association between dietary acrylamide intake and endometrial cancer (EC) risk with inconsistent results. The purpose of this nested case-control study, based on the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, was to evaluate, for the first time, the association between hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide (HbAA) and glycidamide (HbGA) and the risk of developing EC in non-smoking postmenopausal women. Hemoglobin adducts were measured in red blood cells by HPLC/MS/MS. Four exposure variables were evaluated: HbAA, HbGA, their sum (HbAA+HbGA), and their ratio (HbGA/HbAA). The association between hemoglobin adducts and EC was evaluated using unconditional multivariable logistic regression models, and included 383 EC cases (171 were type-I EC), and 385 controls. Exposure variables were analyzed in quintiles based on control distributions. None of the biomarker variables had an effect on overall EC (HRHbAA;Q5vsQ1 : 0.84, 95%CI: 0.49-1.48; HRHbGA;Q5vsQ1 : 0.94, 95%CI: 0.54-1.63) or type-I EC risk. Additionally, none of the subgroups investigated (BMI < 25 vs. ≥25 kg m(-2) , alcohol drinkers vs. never drinkers, oral contraceptive users vs. non-users) demonstrated effect measure modification. Hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide or glycidamide were not associated with EC or type-I EC risk in 768 nonsmoking postmenopausal women from the EPIC cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylamide was classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans (group 2A)" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fourth cause of cancer mortality in women. Five epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between EOC risk and dietary acrylamide intake assessed using food frequency questionnaires, and one nested case-control study evaluated hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide (HbAA) and its metabolite glycidamide (HbGA) and EOC risk; the results of these studies were inconsistent. METHODS A nested case-control study in nonsmoking postmenopausal women (334 cases, 417 controls) was conducted within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between HbAA, HbGA, HbAA+HbGA, and HbGA/HbAA and EOC and invasive serous EOC risk. RESULTS No overall associations were observed between biomarkers of acrylamide exposure analyzed in quintiles and EOC risk; however, positive associations were observed between some middle quintiles of HbGA and HbAA+HbGA. Elevated but nonstatistically significant ORs for serous EOC were observed for HbGA and HbAA+HbGA (ORQ5vsQ1, 1.91; 95% CI, 0.96-3.81 and ORQ5vsQ1, 1.90; 95% CI, 0.94-3.83, respectively); however, no linear dose-response trends were observed. CONCLUSION This EPIC nested case-control study failed to observe a clear association between biomarkers of acrylamide exposure and the risk of EOC or invasive serous EOC. IMPACT It is unlikely that dietary acrylamide exposure increases ovarian cancer risk; however, additional studies with larger sample size should be performed to exclude any possible association with EOC risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen formed during cooking of starchy foods. Two large prospective cohort studies of dietary acrylamide intake and ovarian cancer risk observed a positive association, although two other studies reported no association. METHODS We measured acrylamide exposure using red blood cell acrylamide and glycidamide hemoglobin adducts among women in two large prospective cohorts: the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II. Between blood collection and 2010, we identified 263 incident cases of epithelial ovarian cancer, matching two controls per case. We used logistic regression models to examine the association between acrylamide exposure and ovarian cancer risk, adjusting for matching factors, family history of ovarian cancer, tubal ligation, oral contraceptive use, body mass index, parity, alcohol intake, smoking, physical activity, and caffeine intake. RESULTS The multivariate-adjusted relative risk (RR) of ovarian cancer comparing the highest versus lowest tertile of total acrylamide adducts was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.50-1.24, P trend = 0.08). The comparable RR of ovarian cancer among non-smokers at blood draw was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.57-1.27, P trend = 0.14). The association did not differ by tumor histology (serous invasive versus not), P for heterogeneity = 0.86. Individual adduct types (acrylamide or glycidamide) were not associated with risk. CONCLUSIONS We observed no evidence that acrylamide exposure as measured by adducts to hemoglobin is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. IMPACT Our finding indicates that acrylamide intake may not increase risk of ovarian cancer.

Challenges in estimating the validity of dietary acrylamide measurements. Eur J Nutr 2012; 52:1503-12. [PMID: 23114503 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-012-0457-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2012] [Accepted: 10/16/2012] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylamide is a chemical compound present in tobacco smoke and food, classified as a probable human carcinogen and a known human neurotoxin. Acrylamide is formed in foods, typically carbohydrate-rich and protein-poor plant foods, during high-temperature cooking or other thermal processing. The objectives of this study were to compare dietary estimates of acrylamide from questionnaires (DQ) and 24-h recalls (R) with levels of acrylamide adduct (AA) in haemoglobin. METHODS In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, acrylamide exposure was assessed in 510 participants from 9 European countries, randomly selected and stratified by age, sex, with equal numbers of never and current smokers. After adjusting for country, alcohol intake, smoking status, number of cigarettes and energy intake, correlation coefficients between various acrylamide measurements were computed, both at the individual and at the aggregate (centre) level. RESULTS Individual level correlation coefficient between DQ and R measurements (r DQ,R) was 0.17, while r DQ,AA and r R,AA were 0.08 and 0.06, respectively. In never smokers, r DQ,R, r DQ,AA and r R,AA were 0.19, 0.09 and 0.02, respectively. The correlation coefficients between means of DQ, R and AA measurements at the centre level were larger (r > 0.4). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that estimates of total acrylamide intake based on self-reported diet correlate weakly with biomarker AA Hb levels. Possible explanations are the lack of AA levels to capture dietary acrylamide due to individual differences in the absorption and metabolism of acrylamide, and/or measurement errors in acrylamide from self-reported dietary assessments, thus limiting the possibility to validate acrylamide DQ measurements.

The modifying effect of CYP2E1, GST, and mEH genotypes on the formation of hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and glycidamide in workers exposed to acrylamide. Toxicol Lett 2012; 215:92-9.

Abstract
This study assesses the association of acrylamide (AA) and glycidamide (GA) hemoglobin adducts (AAVal and GAVal) and their ratios with genetic polymorphisms of the metabolic enzymes cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), exon 3 and 4 of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH3 and mEH4), glutathione transferase theta (GSTT1), and mu (GSTM1) or/and the combinations of these polymorphisms, involved in the activation and detoxification of AA in humans. Fifty-one AA-exposed workers and 34 controls were recruited and provided a post-shift blood sample. AAVal and GAVal were determined simultaneously using isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-electronspray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1, mEH3 and 4, GSTT1, and GSTM1 were also analyzed. Our results reveal that the GAVal/AAVal ratio, potentially reflecting the proportion of AA metabolized to GA, ranged from 0.13 to 0.45 with a mean at 0.27. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrates that the joint effect of CYP2E1, GSTM1, and mEH4 genotypes was significantly associated with AAVal and GAVal levels after adjustment for AA exposures. These results suggest that mEH4 and the combined genotypes of CYP2E1, GSTM1 and mEH4 may be associated with the formation of AAVal and GAVal. Further studies may be needed to shed light on the roles that phase I and II enzymes play in AA metabolism.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Measurement of haemoglobin (Hb) adducts from acrylamide (AA) and its metabolite glycidamide (GA) is a possibility to improve the exposure assessment in epidemiological studies of AA intake from food. This study aims to clarify the reliability of Hb-adduct measurement from individual single samples for exposure assessment of dietary AA intake. The intra-individual variations of AA- and GA-adduct levels measured in blood samples collected over 20 months from 13 non-smokers were up to 2-fold and 4-fold, respectively. The corresponding interindividual variations observed between 68 non-smokers, with large differences in AA intake, were 6-fold and 8-fold, respectively. The intra-individual variation of the GA-to-AA-adduct level ratio was up to 3-fold, compared to 11-fold between individuals (n = 68). From AA-adduct levels the average AA daily intake (n = 68) was calculated and compared to that estimated from dietary history methodology: 0.52 and 0.67 μg/kg body weight and day, respectively. At an individual level the measures showed low association (Rs = 0.39). CONCLUSIONS Dietary AA is the dominating source to measured AA-adduct levels and corresponding inter- and intra-individual variations in non-smokers. Measurements from single individual samples are useful for calculation of average AA intake and its variation in a cohort, and for identification of individuals only from extreme intake groups.

Abstract
The knowledge about fetal exposure to acrylamide/glycidamide from the maternal exposure through food is limited. Acrylamide, glycidamide, and ethylene oxide are electrophiles and form adducts with hemoglobin (Hb), which could be used for in vivo dose measurement. In this study, a method for analysis of Hb adducts by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the adduct FIRE procedure, was applied to measurements of adducts from these compounds in maternal blood samples (n = 87) and umbilical cord blood samples (n = 219). The adduct levels from the three compounds, acrylamide, glycidamide, and ethylene oxide, were increased in tobacco smokers. Highly significant correlations were found between cord and maternal blood with regard to measured adduct levels of the three compounds. The mean cord/maternal hemoglobin adduct level ratios were 0.48 (range 0.27-0.86) for acrylamide, 0.38 (range 0.20-0.73) for glycidamide, and 0.43 (range 0.17-1.34) for ethylene oxide. In vitro studies with acrylamide and glycidamide showed a lower (0.38-0.48) rate of adduct formation with Hb in cord blood than with Hb in maternal blood, which is compatible with the structural differences in fetal and adult Hb. Together, these results indicate a similar life span of fetal and maternal erythrocytes. The results showed that the in vivo dose in fetal and maternal blood is about the same and that the placenta gives negligible protection of the fetus to exposure from the investigated compounds. A trend of higher levels of the measured adducts in cord blood with gestational age was observed, which may reflect the gestational age-related change of the cord blood Hb composition toward a higher content of adult Hb. The results suggest that the Hb adduct levels measured in cord blood reflect the exposure to the fetus during the third trimester. The evaluation of the new analytical method showed that it is suitable for monitoring of background exposures of the investigated electrophilic compounds in large population studies.

Abstract
A procedure to prepare and purify adducts of formaldehyde (FA) to the N-terminus of peptides was developed. FA-VHLTPEEK and FA-VLSPADK were produced with purities >95% upon incubation of the peptides with FA in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at a pH level of 7.4. The peptides were purified by preparative liquid chromatography and were characterized by their retention times in liquid chromatography, their fragmentation patterns obtained by tandem mass spectrometry, and their accurate mass and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. This is the first time an imidazolidone-type structure has been reported for FA adducts. The same peptides were identified in tryptic digests of human hemoglobin incubated with FA at physiological conditions and in human hemoglobin specimens. These peptides are suitable for use as calibrators for the quantitative assessment of internal exposure to FA.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for simultaneous determination of adducts from acrylamide, glycidamide and ethylene oxide to N-terminal valines in hemoglobin (Hb) was developed. This new procedure is based on the same principles as the N-alkyl Edman procedure for analysis of adducts from electrophilic agents to N-terminal valines in Hb. The N-substituted valines can be detached, enriched and measured selectively as thiohydantoins by the use of an Edman reagent, in this case fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). This procedure is denoted as the "adduct FIRE procedure" as the FITC reagent is used for measurement of adducts (R) formed from electrophilic compounds with a modified Edman procedure. In this study, fluorescein thiohydantoin (FTH) analytes of N-substituted valines from acrylamide, glycidamide and ethylene oxide, as well as their corresponding hepta- and tri-deuterium-substituted analogues, were synthesized. These analytes (n=8) were then characterized by LC-MS/MS (ESI, positive ion mode) and obtained product ions were interpreted. A considerable work with optimization of the FIRE procedure™, resulted in a procedure in which low background levels of the studied adducts could be measured from 250 μL lyzed whole blood samples (human non-smokers). The analytes were enriched and purified with solid phase extraction columns and analyzed by LC-MS/MS with LOQ down to 1 pmol adduct/gHb. Compared to other procedures for determination of N-terminal Hb adducts, the introduction of FITC has led to a simplified procedure, where whole blood also can be used, giving new opportunities and reduced hand on time with increased sample throughput.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exposure to acrylamide in foodstuffs and smoking has become a worldwide concern. The effect of acrylamide on glucose homeostasis is not known. The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that trace acrylamide exposure might be independently associated with both reduced blood insulin and reduced insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined 1,356 participants with reliable measures of glucose homeostasis and Hb adducts of acrylamide (HbAA) and glycidamide from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2003-2004. Glucose homeostasis was assessed by the measurement of plasma glucose, serum insulin, and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). RESULTS In a linear regression model, a 1-unit increase in log HbAA was associated with a decrease in serum insulin (beta coefficient = -0.20 +/- 0.05, P = 0.001) and HOMA-IR (beta coefficient = -0.23 +/- 0.05, P < 0.001). After HbAA concentrations were divided into quartiles in the fully adjusted models, the adjusted serum insulin level and HOMA-IR significantly decreased across quartiles of HbAA (P(trend) < 0.001 for both). In subgroup analysis, the association of HbAA levels with HOMA-IR and insulin levels was stronger in subjects who were white or had ever smoked or in subjects with a lower education level or a BMI <25 or >30 kg/m(2). CONCLUSIONS Acrylamide is associated with reduced serum insulin levels in adults. Further clinical and animal studies are warranted to clarify the putative causal relationship.

Abstract
This study provides a basis for a new and straightforward method for LC/MS/MS-based screening of N-terminal protein adducts. This procedure is denoted the “FIRE procedure” as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) gave superior sensitivity by LC/MS/MS when measuring adducts (R) of electrophilic
compounds with a modified Edman procedure. The principles of the FIRE-procedure are that adducts to N-terminal amino acids selectively are detached and measured from of proteins after derivatisation by isothiocyanate Edman reagents. In this study, FITC, 4-N,N-dimethylaminoazobenzene 4′-isothiocyanate
(DABITC) and 4-dimethylamino-1-naphthyl isothiocyanate (DNITC) were used to synthesize
thiohydantoin analytes from valine and N-methylvaline. The sensitivity by LC/MS/MS was enhanced
by up to three orders of magnitude as compared to phenyl isothiocyanate and higher as compared to
pentafluorophenyl isothiocyanate. The FITC reagent will enable measurements of low background
adduct levels. Synthesized analytes were characterised with, for example, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC/MS/MS, and UV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, is formed during high-heat cooking of many common foods. The validity of food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) measures of acrylamide intake has not been established. We assessed the validity of acrylamide intake calculated from an FFQ using a biomarker of acrylamide exposure. METHODS We calculated acrylamide intake from an FFQ in the Nurses' Health Study II. We measured hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and its metabolite, glycidamide, in a random sample of 342 women. Correlation and regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between acrylamide intakes and adducts. RESULTS The correlation between acrylamide intake and the sum of acrylamide and glycidamide adducts was 0.31 (95% CI: 0.20-0.41), adjusted for laboratory batch, energy intake, and age. Further adjustment for BMI, alcohol intake, and correction for random within-person measurement error in adducts gave a correlation of 0.34 (CI: 0.23-0.45). The intraclass correlation coefficient for the sum of adducts was 0.77 in blood samples collected 1-3 years apart in a subset of 45 women. Intake of several foods significantly predicted adducts in multiple regression. CONCLUSIONS Acrylamide intake and hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and glycidamide were moderately correlated. Within-person consistency in adducts was high over time.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the oxidative and reductive metabolic pathways of acrylamide (AA) in the nonsmoking general population. For the first time both the blood protein adducts and the urinary metabolites of AA and glycidamide (GA) were quantified in an especially designed study group with even distribution of age and gender. The hemoglobin adducts N-carbamoylethylvaline (AAVal) and N-( R, S)-2-hydroxy-2-carbamoylethylvaline (GAVal) were detected by GC-MS/MS in all blood samples with median levels of 30 and 34 pmol/g of globin, respectively. Concentrations ranged from 15 to 71 pmol/g of globin for AAVal and from 14 to 66 pmol/g of globin for GAVal. The ratio GAVal/AAVal was 0.4-2.7 (median = 1.1). The urinary metabolites were determined by LC-MS/MS. Of all urine samples examined 99% of N-acetyl- S-(2-carbamoylethyl)- l-cysteine (AAMA) levels and 73% of N-( R/ S)-acetyl- S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)- l-cysteine (GAMA) levels were above the LOD (1.5 microg/L). Concentrations ranged from <LOD to 229 microg/L (median = 29 microg/L) for AAMA and from <LOD to 85 microg/L (median = 7 microg/L) for GAMA. The ratio of GAMA/AAMA varied from 0.004 to 1.4 (median = 0.3). Using hemoglobin adduct levels in blood and mercapturic acid excretion in urine for calculation of daily AA intake gave practically identical values. The median daily intakes were 0.43 (0.21-1.04) microg/kg of body weight(bw)/day using Hb adducts and 0.51 (<LOD-2.32) microg/kg of bw/day using mercapturic acids for calculations. Children take up approximately 1.3-1.5 times more AA per kilogram of body weight than adults. The ratio GAMA/AAMA is significantly higher in the group of young children (6-10 years) with a median level of 0.5. A gender-related difference in internal exposure and metabolism was not observed.

Abstract
The question about the contribution from acrylamide (AA) in food to the cancer risk in the general population has not yet had a satisfactory answer. One point of discussion is whether AA constitutes a cancer risk through its genotoxic metabolite, glycidamide (GA), or whether other mechanism(s) could be operating. Using a relative cancer risk model, an improvement of the cancer risk estimate for dietary AA can be obtained by estimation of the genotoxic contribution to the risk. One cornerstone in this model is the in vivo dose of the causative genotoxic agent. This paper presents an evaluation, according to this model, of published AA cancer tests on the basis of in vivo doses of GA in rats exposed in the cancer tests. The present status regarding data with importance for an improved estimation of the contribution from GA to the cancer risk of AA, such as in vivo doses measured in humans, is discussed.

Abstract
Acrylamide exposure was investigated in subgroups of the EPIC study population (510 subjects from 9 European countries, randomly selected and stratified by age, gender, and smoking status) using hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide (HbAA) and its primary metabolite glycidamide (HbGA). Blood samples were analyzed for HbAA and HbGA by HPLC/MS/MS. Statistical models for HbAA and HbGA were developed including body mass index (BMI), educational level, and physical activity. A large variability in acrylamide exposure and metabolism between individuals and country groups was observed with HbAA and HbGA values ranging between 15-623 and 8-377 pmol/g of Hb, respectively. Both adducts differed significantly by country, sex, and smoking status. HbGA values were significantly lower in high alcohol consumers than in moderate consumers. With increasing BMI, HbGA in nonsmokers and HbAA in smokers decreased significantly. In the assessment of potential health effects related to acrylamide exposure, country of origin, BMI, alcohol consumption, sex, and smoking status should be considered.

Abstract
Hemoglobin adducts are often used as biomarkers for exposure to reactive chemicals in toxicology studies. Therefore, fast, sensitive, accurate, and reproducible methods for quantifying these protein adducts are key to evaluate test material dosimetry. A methodology has been developed for the quantitation of methylated hemoglobin adducts isolated from rats exposed to the model alkylating agent: methyl methane sulfonate (MMS). After 4 days of MMS exposure by oral gavage, hemoglobin was isolated from rat blood and digested with trypsin. The tryptic digestion solution was used for the adducted hemoglobin signature peptide quantitation via liquid chromatography/negative tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the methylated hemoglobin beta chain N-terminal signature peptide (MeVHLTDAEK) was 1.95 ng/mL (5.9 pmol/mg globin). The calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 1.95 to 625 ng/mL, with a correlation coefficient R2 >0.998, accuracy of 85.8 to 119.3%, and precision of 0.9 to 19.4%.

Abstract
The determination of biomarkers of acrylamide exposure in humans from general French population by measurement of hemoglobin adduct levels of acrylamide (AA) and glycidamide (GA) is presented. The analytical procedure included modified Edman degradation and LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis of the final derivatives using deuterated internal standards. Method performances were evaluated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity. The method was firstly assessed on rat blood samples and then applied to the study of background adducts levels of AA and GA in 68 human hemoglobin samples, showing mean levels of 33 and 23 pmol/g globin for AA and GA adducts, respectively.

Abstract
Two semi-automated, relatively high throughput methods using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) were developed for the simultaneous determination of ethinyl estradiol (EE) in combination with either 19-norethindrone (NE) or levonorgestrel (LN) in human plasma. Using 300 microL plasma, the methods were validated over the concentration ranges of 0.01-2 ng/mL and 0.1-20 ng/mL for EE and NE (or LN), respectively. The existing methods for the determination of the oral contraceptives in human plasma require large volumes of plasma (> or =500 microL), and sample extraction is labor-intensive. The LC run time is at least 6 min, enabling analysis of only about 100 samples a day. In the present work the throughput was greatly improved by employing a semi-automated sample preparation process involving liquid-liquid extraction and derivatization with dansyl chloride followed by UPLC separation on a small particle size column achieving a run time of 2.7 min. The validation and actual sample analysis results show that both methods are rugged, precise, accurate, and well suitable to support pharmacokinetic studies where approximately 300 samples can be extracted and analyzed in a day.
