Abstract
For a few years, mineral oils and their potential adverse health effects have been a constant issue of concern in many regulatory areas such as food, cosmetics, other consumer products, and industrial chemicals. Analytically, two fractions can be distinguished: mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). This paper aims at assessing the bioaccumulative potential and associated histopathological effects of MOSH as well as the carcinogenic potential of MOAH for consumer-relevant mineral oils. It also covers the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of MOSH and MOAH upon oral and dermal exposures. The use and occurrence of consumer-relevant, highly refined mineral oils in food, cosmetics and medicinal products are summarized, and estimates for the exposure of consumers are provided. Also addressed are the challenges in characterizing the substance identity of mineral oil products under REACH. Evidence from more recent autopsy and biopsy studies, along with information on decreasing food contamination levels, indicates a low risk for adverse hepatic lesions that may arise from the retention of MOSH in the liver. With respect to MOAH, at present there is no indication of any carcinogenic effects in animals dermally or orally exposed to highly refined mineral oils and waxes. Such products are used not only in cosmetics but also in medicinal products and as additives in food contact materials. The safety of these mineral oil-containing products is thus indirectly documented by their prevalent and long-term use, with a simultaneous lack of clinical and epidemiological evidence for adverse health effects.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is a known human carcinogen. In non-smoking adults greater than 95% of BaP exposure is through diet. The carcinogenicity of BaP is utilized by the U.S. EPA to assess relative potency of complex PAH mixtures. PAH relative potency factors (RPFs, BaP = 1) are determined from high dose animal data. We employed accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to determine pharmacokinetics of [14C]-BaP in humans following dosing with 46 ng (an order of magnitude lower than human dietary daily exposure and million-fold lower than animal cancer models). To assess the impact of co-administration of food with a complex PAH mixture, humans were dosed with 46 ng of [14C]-BaP with or without smoked salmon. Subjects were asked to avoid high BaP-containing diets and a 3-day dietary questionnaire given to assess dietary exposure prior to dosing and three days post-dosing with [14C]-BaP. Co-administration of smoked salmon, containing a complex mixture of PAHs with an RPF of 460 ng BaPeq, reduced and delayed absorption. Administration of canned commercial salmon, containing very low amounts of PAHs, showed the impacts on pharmacokinetics were not due to high amounts of PAHs but rather a food matrix effect.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health problem. It is characterized by excess adipose tissue that results from either increase in the number of adipocytes or increase in adipocytes size. Adipocyte differentiation is a highly regulated process that involves the activation of several transcription factors culminating in the removal of adipocytes from the cell cycle and induction of highly specific proteins. Several other factors, including hormones, genes, and epigenetics, are among the most important triggers of the differentiation process. Although the main contributing factors to obesity are high caloric intake, a sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition, strong evidence supports a role for life exposure to environmental pollutants. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are exogenous, both natural and man-made, chemicals that disrupt the body signaling processes, thus interfering with the endocrine system. Several studies have shown that prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptors modulates the mechanisms, by which multipotent mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into adipocytes. This review discusses adipocytes differentiation and highlights the possible mechanisms of prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptors in reprogramming of adipogenesis and induction of obesity later in life. Therefore, this review provides knowledge that reduction of early life exposure to these chemicals could open the door for new strategies in the prevention of obesity, especially during childhood.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioavailability from ingested soils will vary between soils; however, the nature of this variation is not well characterized. A juvenile swine model was used to link external exposure to internal benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and anthracene exposure following oral PAH ingestion of 27 different impacted site soils, soots, or spiked artificial soils. Internal exposure of BaP and anthracene, represented by area under the plasma-time curve, did not relate to soil concentration in impacted site soils, but did relate in spiked artificial soil. Point of departure modeling identified soil PAH concentrations greater than 1900 mg kg(-1) as the point where area under the curve becomes proportional to external dose. A BaP internal exposure below 1900 mg kg(-1) had an upper 95% confidence interval estimate of 33% of external exposure. Weak relationships between soil:simulated gastrointestinal fluid PAH partitioning and area under the curve values suggest that differences in internal PAH exposure between soils may not be dominated by differences in PAH partitioning. The data seem to best support exposure assessment assuming constant internal PAH exposure below soil concentrations of 1900 mg kg(-1) . However, because constant internal exposure would challenge several existing paradigms, a bioavailability estimate of 33% of the external exposure is suggested as a likely workable solution.

Abstract
Colon cancer ranks third in cancer-related mortalities in the United States. Many studies have investigated factors that contribute to colon cancer in which dietary and environmental factors have been shown to play an integral role in the etiology of this disease. Specifically, human dietary intake of environmental carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has generated interest in looking at how it exerts its effects in gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the preventative effects of olive oil on benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P]-induced colon carcinogenesis in adult Apc(Min) mice. Mice were assigned to a control (n=8) or treatment group (n=8) consisting of 25, 50 and 100-μg B(a)P/kg body weight (bw) dissolved in tricaprylin [B(a)P-only group] or olive oil daily via oral gavage for 60 days. Our studies showed that Apc(Min) mice exposed to B(a)P developed a significantly higher number (P<0.05) of larger dysplastic adenomas compared to those exposed to B(a)P + olive oil. Treatment of mice with B(a)P and olive oil significantly altered (P<0.05) the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in both the colon and liver tissues. However, only GST activity was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the liver of mice treated with 50- and 100-μg B(a)P/kg bw + olive oil. Lastly, olive oil promoted rapid detoxification of B(a)P by decreasing its organic metabolite concentrations and also decreasing the extent of DNA damage to colon and liver tissues (P<0.05). These results suggest that olive oil has a protective effect against B(a)P-induced colon tumors.

Abstract
Humans are constantly exposed to contaminants in the environment, which may lead to changes in physiological processes by altering enzyme activities that could affect bioavailability. However, bioavailability estimates are typically made from a single exposure to an animal model, which may lead to overestimating bioavailability. This study uses juvenile swine to model human exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and anthracene in certified reference material (CRM), spiked soil, spiked food, or spiked corn oil after one and seven days of dosing. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated after one and seven days of exposure for both BaP and anthracene for each exposure media. Whereas there were significant differences in AUC between different media, there were no significant changes in AUC after sub-chronic exposure to BaP or anthracene. Average BaP bioavailability for CRM, spiked soil, spiked food and corn oil was 71%, 0.72%, 0.03% and 0.97% respectively. Average anthracene bioavailability was 1.7% and 43% for corn oil and CRM respectively. Anthracene was not detected above background in swine exposed to spiked food and spiked soil. Thus, this study indicates that exposure media impacts bioavailability, but there is no statistical evidence that sub-chronic exposure affects systemic exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known carcinogens and suspected endocrine disruptors. Prenatal exposure to PAHs has been associated with obesity in early childhood. OBJECTIVE We examined the association of urinary PAH metabolites with adiposity outcomes [body mass index (BMI) z-score, waist circumference (WC), and rate of obesity] in children and adolescents. METHODS We performed whole-sample analyses of 3,189 individuals 6-19 years of age who participated in the 2001-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We performed multivariate linear and logistic regression to analyze the association of BMI z-score, WC, and obesity with concentrations of single urinary PAH compounds and the sum of PAHs. Furthermore, the analyses were stratified by developmental stage [i.e., children (6-11 years) and adolescents (12-19 years)]. RESULTS BMI z-score, WC, and obesity were positively associated with the molecular mass sum of the PAHs and the total sum of naphthalene metabolites. Most associations increased monotonically with increasing quartiles of exposure among children 6-11 years of age, whereas dose-response trends were less consistent for adolescents (12-19 years of age). Neither total PAHs nor total naphthalene metabolites were associated with overweight in either age group, and there was little evidence of associations between the outcomes and individual PAHs. CONCLUSIONS Total urinary PAH metabolites and naphthalene metabolites were associated with higher BMI, WC, and obesity in children 6-11 years of age, with positive but less consistent associations among adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bioaccessibility is a growing area of research in the field of risk assessment. As polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, they are the toxicants of focus to establish cancer risks in humans. Orally ingested PAHs also cause toxicity and even affect the pharmacokinetic behavior of some therapeutic agents. Toward this end, bioaccessibility is being used as a tool to assess the risk of PAHs via dietary exposures. AREAS COVERED This review covers some in vitro bioaccessibility models for PAHs that have been used for the past one-and-a-half decade. This review also considers the factors that influence bioaccessibility and debates the merits and limitations of using a bioaccessibility concept for estimating risk from ingestion of PAH-contaminated soil and food. Finally, the authors discuss the implications of bioaccessibility for PAH-induced toxicity and cancers in the context of risk assessment. EXPERT OPINION So far, much of the focus on PAH bioaccessibility is centered on soil as a preferential matrix. However, ingestion of PAHs through diet far exceeds the amount accidentally ingested through soil. Therefore, bioaccessibility could be exploited as a tool to assess the relative risk of various dietary ingredients tainted with PAHs. While bioaccessibility is a promising approach for assessing PAH risk arising from various types of contaminated soils, none of the models proposed appears to be valid. Bioaccessibility values, derived from in vitro studies, still require validation from in vivo studies.

Abstract
There are few reports that demonstrate the antigenotoxic potential of cranberries. Although the types of berry fruits consumed worldwide are many, this paper focuses on cranberries that are commonly consumed in Mexico (Vaccinium macrocarpon species). The purpose of the present study is to determine whether cranberry ethanolic extract (CEE) can prevent the DNA damage produced by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) using an in vivo mouse peripheral blood micronucleus assay. The experimental groups were organized as follows: a negative control group (without treatment), a positive group treated with B[a]P (200 mg/kg), a group administered with 800 mg/kg of CEE, and three groups treated with B[a]P and CEE (200, 400, and 800 mg/kg) respectively. The CEE and benzo[a]pyrene were administered orally for a week, on a daily basis. During this period the body weight, the feed intake, and the determination of antigenotoxic potential were quantified. At the end of this period, we continued with the same determinations for one week more (recovery period) but anymore administration of the substances. The animals treated with B[a]P showed a weight increase after the first week of administration. The same phenomenon was observed in the lots combined with B[a]P and CEE (low and medium doses). The dose of 800 mg/kg of CEE showed similar values to the control group at the end of the treatment period. In the second part of the assay, when the substances were not administered, these experimental groups regained their normal weight. The dose of CEE (800 mg/kg) was not genotoxic nor cytotoxic. On the contrary, the B[a]P increases the frequency of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes (MNNE) and reduces the rate of polychromatic erythrocytes (PE) at the end of the treatment period. With respect to the combined lots, a significant decrease in the MN rate was observed from the sixth to the eighth day of treatment with the two high doses applied; the highest protection (60%) was obtained with 800 mg/kg of CEE. The same dose showed an anticytotoxic effect which corresponded to an improvement of 62.5% in relation to the animals administered with the B[a]P. In the second period, all groups reached values that have been seen in the control group animals. Our results suggest that the inhibition of clastogenicity of the cranberry ethanolic extract against B[a]P is related to the antioxidant capacity of the combination of phytochemicals present in its chemical composition.

Green tea extract markedly lowers the lymphatic absorption and increases the biliary secretion of 14C-benzo[a]pyrene in rats. J Nutr Biochem 2011; 23:1007-11. [PMID: 22000580 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2011.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2011] [Revised: 04/25/2011] [Accepted: 05/19/2011] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Previously, we have shown that green tea extract (GTE) lowers the intestinal absorption of lipids and lipophilic compounds in rats. This study was conducted to investigate whether GTE inhibits the intestinal absorption and biliary secretion of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), an extremely lipophilic potent carcinogen, present in foods as a contaminant. Male rats with lymph or bile duct cannula were infused at 3.0 ml/h for 8 h via a duodenal catheter with lipid emulsion containing (14)C-BaP with or without GTE in PBS buffer. Lymph and bile were collected hourly for 8 h. The (14)C-radioactivities in lymph, bile and intestine were determined and expressed as % dose infused. Results showed that GTE drastically lowered the lymphatic absorption of (14)C-BaP (7.6±3.2% in GTE-infused vs. 14.4±2.7% dose/8 h in control rats), with a significantly higher amount of (14)C-radioactivity present in the small intestinal lumen and cecum in rats infused with GTE. GTE also markedly increased the hourly rate (3.9±0.1% dose/h in GTE-infused vs. 3.0±0.1% dose/h in control rats) and the total biliary secretion of (14)C-BaP (31.5±0.8% dose/8 h in GTE-infused vs. 24.3±0.4% dose/8 h in control rats). The findings provide first direct evidence that GTE has a profound inhibitory effect on the intestinal absorption of BaP and promotes the excretion of absorbed BaP via the biliary route. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether green tea could be recommended as a dietary means of ameliorating the toxicity and carcinogenic effect of BaP.

Abstract
Intestinal lymphatic transport has been shown to be an absorptive pathway following oral administration of lipids and an increasing number of lipophilic drugs, which once absorbed, diffuse across the intestinal enterocyte and while in transit associate with secretable enterocyte lipoproteins. The chylomicron-associated drug is then secreted from the enterocyte into the lymphatic circulation, rather than the portal circulation, thus avoiding the metabolically-active liver, but still ultimately returning to the systemic circulation. Because of this parallel and potentially alternative absorptive pathway, first-pass metabolism can be reduced while increasing lymphatic drug exposure, which opens the potential for novel therapeutic modalities and allows the implementation of lipid-based drug delivery systems. This review discusses the physiological features of the lymphatics, enterocyte uptake and metabolism, links between drug transport and lipid digestion/re-acylation, experimental model (in vivo, in vitro, and in silico) of lymphatic transport, and the design of lipid- or prodrug-based drug delivery systems for enhancing lymphatic drug transport.

Abstract
Exposure to environmental toxicants has been implicated as one of the causative factors for infertility in mammals. The objective of this study was to determine the amount of ingested benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), an environmental toxicant that reaches the reproductive tissues (internal dose) subsequent to a single acute exposure. Toward this end, the concentrations of BaP reactive metabolites and BaP-DNA adducts were measured throughout the course of BaP's residence in the body. Ten-week-old female Fischer-344 rats weighing approximately 220 g were administered 5 mg BaP/kg body weight orally. 1, 7, 14, 2,1 and 28 d post BaP exposure, BaP parent compound and metabolites from plasma, ovaries, and liver tissues were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction. The extracts were analyzed by reverse-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC). DNA was isolated and analyzed for BaP-induced DNA adducts by (32)P-postlabeling method. The BaP total metabolite concentrations in plasma, ovaries, and liver showed a gradual decrease from d 1 to 28 post BaP administration. The BaP-DNA adducts concentrations in ovaries and liver tissues from the treatment group demonstrated a trend similar to that observed for metabolites. Ovaries showed greater concentrations of DNA adducts compared to liver. However, with an increase in time post cessation of exposure, the adduct concentrations in liver tissue started declining rapidly, from d 1 to 28. For ovaries, the adduct concentrations demonstrated a significant decline from d 1 to 7 and a gradual fall thereafter. A concordance between BaP reactive metabolite levels and adduct concentrations indicates that the bioavailability of reactive metabolites determines the binding with DNA and consequently the formation and persistence of adducts in an acute exposure regimen.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer, responsible for 50,000 deaths per year, is a contributing factor for considerable mortalities in the United States. Consumption of well-done red meat and saturated fats rich in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may be one of the causative factors for sporadic colon cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the formation of colon tumors in adult Apc(Min) mice was influenced by the ingestion of different types of fat containing benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P], a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound. Treatment consisted of 50 and 100 microg B(a)P/kg body weight dissolved in peanut or coconut oil (representatives of unsaturated and saturated fats, respectively) administered daily to six-week-old male Apc(Min) mice via oral gavage for sixty days. At the end of exposure, mice were sacrificed; jejunum and colons were retrieved and preserved in 10% formalin for observation for gross pathological changes. An increased prevalence of adenomas in colons of mice that ingested B(a)P through saturated dietary fat compared to unsaturated fat and controls (p < .05) was noticed. Interestingly, we also observed adenomas with high-grade dysplasia in the B(a)P + saturated fat group, and these incidences were frequent at the 100 microg/kg B(a)P dose. On the other hand, the B(a)P-alone and unsaturated-fat groups did not show significant differences in the numbers of adenomas and invasive tumors in the both jejunum and the colon. Our studies established that dietary fat, especially saturated fat, potentiates the development of colon tumors caused by B(a)P in the Apc(Min) mouse.

Abstract
The route of absorption of ingested compounds is a determinant of their distribution and metabolism. Portal vein absorption results in direct transport to the liver, where metabolism may take place before extrahepatic delivery. Lymphatic absorption can result in delivery of parent compound to nonhepatic tissues. Understanding the fate of an ingested compound requires determination of the importance of each of these routes. Portal vein absorption can be estimated from the difference in concentrations of an ingested compound between the portal vein and peripheral vessel blood. To make these estimations, one must make assumptions on the basis of estimates of flow rate and dilution. We report here methodology that allows a direct measurement of portal vein absorption that is independent of these assumptions. Mesenteric lymph was diverted from rats by cannulation. Portal blood was sampled after duodenal infusion of a bolus of compound of interest along with a portal absorption marker, 3-O-methylglucose. Since lymph was diverted, the appearance in portal blood was solely the result of portal absorption. Absorption was quantified by the areas under the curve for the compound and marker. Portal absorption was a function of the octanol/water partition coefficients for four organochlorine compounds: hexachlorobenzene, pentachlorophenol, DDT, and its metabolite 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bischlorophenylethylene.

Abstract
After oral administration, the majority of drug molecules are absorbed across the small intestine and enter the systemic circulation via the portal vein and the liver. For some highly lipophilic drugs (typically log P > 5, lipid solubility > 50 mg/g), however, association with lymph lipoproteins in the enterocyte leads to transport to the systemic circulation via the intestinal lymph. The attendant delivery benefits associated with lymphatic drug transport include a reduction in first-pass metabolism and lymphatic exposure to drug concentrations orders of magnitude higher than that attained in systemic blood. In the current review we briefly describe the mechanisms by which drug molecules access the lymph and the formulation strategies that may be utilised to enhance lymphatic drug transport. Specific focus is directed toward recent advances in understanding regarding the impact of lipid source (both endogenous and exogenous) and intracellular lipid trafficking pathways on lymphatic drug transport and enterocyte-based first-pass metabolism.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common food pollutant that causes DNA adduct formation and is carcinogenic. The report of a positive correlation between human plasma B[a]P levels and body mass index, together with B[a]P's lipophilicity, led us to test for possible adverse effects of B[a]P on adipose tissue. In ex vivo experiments using primary murine adipocytes, B[a]P rapidly (within minutes) and directly inhibited epinephrine-induced lipolysis (up to 75%) in a dose-dependent manner. Half-maximum inhibition was obtained with a B[a]P concentration of 0.9 mg.L(-1) (3.5 microm). Lipolysis induced by beta(1)-, beta(2)- and beta(3)-adrenoreceptor-specific agonists, as well as ACTH, were also significantly inhibited by B[a]P, whereas forskolin-induced lipolysis was not B[a]P-sensitive. Similar inhibition of catecholamine-induced lipolysis by B[a]P was also seen in isolated human adipocytes; half-maximum inhibition of lipolysis was achieved with a B[a]P concentration of 0.02 mg.L(-1) (0.08 microm). In vivo treatment of C57Bl/6J mice with 0.4 mg.kg(-1) B[a]P inhibited epinephrine-induced release of free fatty acids by 70%. Chronic exposure of mice to B[a]P (0.5 mg.kg(-1) injected i.p. every 48 h) for 15 days also decreased lipolytic response to epinephrine and induced a 43% higher weight gain compared with controls (B[a]P: 2.23 +/- 0.12 g versus control: 1.56 +/- 0.18 g, P < 0.01) due to increased fat mass. The weight gain occurred consistently without detectable changes in food intake. These results reveal a novel molecular mechanism of toxicity for the environmental pollutant B[a]P and introduce the notion that chronic exposure of human population to B[a]P and possibly other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons could have an impact on metabolic disorders, such as obesity.

Abstract
Food would seem to be one of the main ways of animal and human contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In vivo studies suggest a transfer in intestinal epithelium by diffusion, which appears extensively governed by the physicochemical properties of PAHs, particularly lipophilicity. However, other mechanisms, such as metabolism, are considered to intervene. Our work aimed at testing in vitro intestinal metabolism and defining its impact on transepithelial transport of PAHs. Caco-2 cells were cultivated on permeable filters and incubated with 14C-labeled benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), pyrene (Pyr), and phenanthrene (Phe), which differ in their physicochemical properties. The results showed that the cells were able to metabolize the compounds. In basal media, Phe appeared to be the least hydroxylated molecule (45% after a 6-h exposure), followed by Pyr (65%) and finally BaP (96%). Inhibition of PAH metabolism showed a determinant effect on kinetics profiles. Transfer in the basal compartment of BaP, Pyr, and Phe radioactivities was, respectively, 26, 4, and 2 times lower with inhibitors, corroborating that intestinal metabolism of PAHs would have a positive impact on their transfer, an impact that increased with their lipophilicity. Furthermore, after a 6-h incubation, metabolites were also detected in apical medium. These findings suggested that intestinal metabolism might play a key role in intestinal barrier permeability and thus in the bioavailability of tested micropollutants.

Abstract
Food seems to be one of the main ways of animal and human contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins. In vivo studies showed a blood absorption of these xenobiotics after their ingestion. Our work aimed at studying the in vitro transfer of PAHs and dioxins through intestinal barrier. Caco-2 cells were cultivated on permeable filters to measure transepithelial permeability of (14)C labeled 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, benzo[a]pyrene, pyrene, and phenanthrene, which differed in their physicochemical properties. The results showed that the molecules were able to cross intestinal cell layers. All the molecules were detected associated with cells, even if the dioxin was the less uptaken compound. Phenanthrene appeared in basal media faster, and its level after a 6-h exposure was respectively 1.1, 2, and 7 times higher than pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin levels. These findings suggest that intestinal epithelium plays a key role in selective permeability and then in bioavailibility of micropollutants.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a family of toxicants that are ubiquitous in the environment. These contaminants generate considerable interest, because some of them are highly carcinogenic in laboratory animals and have been implicated in breast, lung, and colon cancers in humans. These chemicals commonly enter the human body through inhalation of cigarette smoke or consumption of contaminated food. Of these two pathways, dietary intake of PAHs constitutes a major source of exposure in humans. Although many reviews and books on PAHs have been published, factors affecting the accumulation of PAHs in the diet, their absorption following ingestion, and strategies to assess risk from exposure to these hydrocarbons following ingestion have received much less attention. This review, therefore, focuses on concentrations of PAHs in widely consumed dietary ingredients along with gastrointestinal absorption rates in humans. Metabolism and bioavailability of PAHs in animal models and the processes, which influence the disposition of these chemicals, are discussed. The utilitarian value of structure and metabolism in predicting PAH toxicity and carcinogenesis is also emphasized. Finally, based on intake, disposition, and tumorigenesis data, the exposure risk to PAHs from diet, and contaminated soil is presented. This information is expected to provide a framework for refinements in risk assessment of PAHs from a multimedia exposure perspective.

Abstract
Fluroanthene (FLA) is a nonalternant representative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) family of toxic chemicals that are widely distributed in the environment. The effects of single acute doses of FLA on locomotor activities and the functional observational battery (FOB) were investigated in 8-week-old male and female F-344 rats. FLA was dissolved in peanut oil and administered by oral gavage as single doses of 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg. Immediately after dosing, animals were placed in activity cages and monitored for nocturnal locomotor activities at 2-hour intervals and for a total of 12 hours for 5 consecutive days post treatment. Significant (p <.001) reductions in horizontal activity, total distance, stereotypy, and vertical activity were observed. Rats administered acute doses of FLA were also subjected to the functional observational battery (FOB) tests that were conducted at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after FLA administration. FLA-exposed animals showed significant (p <.05) dysfunction, including ataxia, decreased grip strengths, increased landing foot splay, loss of aerial righting, increased urination and defecation, and decreased responses to sensory stimuli in both sexes. Neurological deficits in the FOB peaked at 6 hours and lasted for 48 hours post treatment. Significant (p <.05) gender-related differences were noted in behavioral end points, with male rats showing greater sensitivity to FLA administration than females, as evidenced by their greater mean severity scores in FOB parameters and lower motor activity counts. These findings suggest that FLA can produce behavioral toxicity in F-344 rats and that motor activity and the FOB may serve as end points for the detection of acute FLA toxicity.

Abstract
Epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract are challenged by exposure to many potentially toxic agents including the well-known food contaminant benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). They are equipped with a variety of Phase 1- and Phase 2-enzymes that are able to metabolize B[a]P. Furthermore, transmembranous ABC-transport proteins are expressed at the apical pole of these cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether [14C]B[a]P or products of the metabolism are transported by intestinal cells back into the gut lumen. The intestinal Caco-2 cell line was used as a metabolism and transport model. Experiments with Caco-2 monolayers in the Transwell-system revealed that radiolabeled substance is transported towards the apical (luminal) region. This transport was characterized as active and increased after induction of cytochromes P450 1A1 and 1B1 by beta-naphthoflavone. On the other hand, transport was decreased with the concomitant inhibition of Phase 1-metabolism. TLC-analysis revealed that the primary metabolites of B[a]P found in the supernatant were very polar; other metabolites of less polarity could only be detected in trace amounts. These results indicate that B[a]P is metabolized by Caco-2 cells to highly polar metabolites resulting from biphasic metabolism and that these polar metabolites are subject to an apically directed transport. Chemical inhibition studies showed that P-glycoprotein and MRP1 or 2 were not involved in this polarized B[a]P-metabolite secretion.

Abstract
Lipophilic toxins have been introduced into the environment both as functional compounds, such as pesticides, and as industrial waste from incineration or the manufacture of electrical transformer components. Among these substances are compounds that are carcinogenic and that affect the endocrine system. Accidental high exposures of humans to some lipophilic toxins have produced overt disease symptoms including chloracne and altered liver function. These toxic materials have been the recent focus of international effort to reduce or eliminate classes of halogenated hydrocarbons from the environment. Evidence of the widespread distribution of lipophilic toxins in the biosphere has been obtained by analyses of human tissues and human milk. The principal route of entry of lipophilic toxins into humans is through the food chain, and most of them are stored in adipose tissue. A common route of excretion is in bile, but there is also evidence of nonbiliary excretion into the intestine. Enterohepatic circulation of many of these compounds slows their removal from the body. Substances that interrupt the enterohepatic circulation of compounds that enter the intestine by the biliary and nonbiliary routes increase the rate of their removal from the body and reduce their storage half-lives. Reduction in body fat, along with these dietary substances that interrupt enterohepatic circulation, further enhances the excretion rate. Areas for further research include optimizing regimens for body burden reductions, understanding the nature of nonbiliary excretion, and following the effects of tissue redistribution during loss of body fat.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly persistent environmental pollutants which pose potential adverse effects on human health. Benzo(a)-pyrene (B(a)P) is the prototypical representative of these widely dispersed lipophylic contaminants. (B(a)P) exposure in experimental animals results in an array of tissue- and organ-specific responses including carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive and immunotoxicity. However, no previous studies have examined the potential neurobehavioral toxicity of B(a)P in vivo. The present study was conducted to investigate the behavioral effects induced by single oral doses of (B(a)P) in 8-week-old male and female F-344 rats. Rats were exposed to 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg of B(a)P by oral gavage. Motor activity measurements and the functional observational battery (FOB) were used to assess behavioral changes induced by B(a)P at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post treatment. Statistical analyses revealed significant (p <0.001) dose, sex and time interactions. (B(a)P) doses ranging from 25 to 200 mg/kg produced a significant suppression (up to 60%) in four motor activity parameters: horizontal activity, total distance, stereotype and vertical activity in both sexes within 2 and 4h of dosing. B(a)P treated male and female animals also showed significant (p <0.001) changes in neuromuscular, autonomic, sensorimotor and physiological functions within 2 and 4h post B(a)P administration except in the 12.5 mg/kg treatment group. The 12.5 mg/kg dose did not produce significant (p > 0.05) behavioral toxicity in either males or females. All treated animals (25-200 mg/kg) recovered from the toxic effects of B(a)P by 72 h. Significant (p < 0.05) gender differences were noted in FOB test measures with males displaying greater sensitivity to B(a)P. These data suggest that motor activity and FOB measurements can be used as indices to detect B(a)P neurotoxicity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the bioavailability of Benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)p], subsequent to oral exposure. Eight-week-old F-344 rats were dosed orally with 100 mg/kg body weight B(a)p and sacrificed at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0. 8.0, 24, 48 and 72 hours post exposure. Blood, liver, reproductive tissues, urine and fecal samples were collected at necropsy and were analyzed for parent B(a)p and metabolites by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Peak levels of B(a)p in plasma occurred 8 hours after exposure (67%) followed by a gradual decrease. Liver retained 10% of the administered B(a)p up to 24 hours following, which the levels dropped during the remaining time periods studied. Twenty-four hours after administration, 45% of the dose was excreted in feces and urine. Metabolite levels in plasma peaked at 24 hours (10%) and decreased to 1% at 72 hours. In the liver, metabolite levels were higher at 8 hours (10%) but were only 3% at 72 hours. Benzo(a)pyrene levels increased after 24 hours in the reproductive organs and constituted 10% of the administered dose at 72 hours. Blood showed high levels of 7,8-diol than 9,10 and 4,5-diols which were high in liver and reproductive organs. Compared to diols, the hydroxy metabolites were detected at high levels in urine and fecal samples. Among the aqueous phase metabolites, glucuronides were at higher levels compared to glutathiones and sulfates. The slow release of unmetabolized B(a)p from reproductive organs and the presence of reactive metabolites in these organs is a matter of concern as they could interfere with gonadal steroid synthesis and release and its regulatory role in gamete production, maturation and function of male animals in a continuous exposure paradigm.

Abstract
'Kieselrot' (red slag), a highly PCDD/F-contaminated leaching residue from a copper production process, has been used as surface layer for more than 1,000 sports fields, playgrounds and pavements in Germany and neighbouring countries. Children can ingest this material directly by hand-to-mouth activities or soil-pica behaviour. Furthermore secondary contamination of farm land or kitchen gardens by drift of red slag dust may lead to an enrichment of PCDD/F within the food-chain. PCDD/F can be mobilized from contaminated materials by digestive juices and thus become bioaccessible for intestinal absorption. Two different digestive tract models were used to estimate the bioaccessibility of PCDD/F from red slag and to study the influence of food material on the mobilization of the contaminants. The bioaccessibility of PCDD/F from red slag depends on the charge of red slag material used, the bile content of the intestinal juice and on the presence of lipophilic foodstuffs. A low bioaccessibility of less than 5% was found when using a digestive tract model with a low bile content and in absence of food material. The bioaccessibility was estimated to be more than 60% when using a model with a higher bile content and in the presence of whole milk powder. A low bioaccessibility of PCDD/F from red slag in general--as assumed until now and mentioned in legal provision--was not confirmed by our study. Considering observations for the different homologue groups it is obvious that bioaccessibility is the first of several important steps to estimate human health risks arising from contaminated materials. In case red slag contaminated with PCDD/F their absorption rate in the digestive tract and/or metabolism might be at least just like important.

Abstract
Dietary uptake of a mixture of pp'DDT and four chlorobenzenes from diets with different lipid contents was measured in goldfish (Carassius auratus) in order to investigate the mechanism of intestinal absorption of organic compounds. The results of the experiments suggest that intestinal absorption is basically controlled by chemical diffusion rather than lipid coassimilation. The extent of dietary uptake as indicated by biomagnification factor was strongly correlated with the chemical log Kow, indicating that uptake of the chemicals from the gastrointestinal fluid is similar to the uptake from other aqueous environments and lipid content of the food in the range used in these experiments (2.9-10.9%) could not influence the uptake of lipophilic chemicals.

Abstract
Drugs are absorbed after oral administration as a consequence of a complex array of interactions between the drug, its formulation, and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The presence of food within the GI tract impacts significantly on transit profiles, pH, and its solubilization capacity. Consequently, food would be expected to affect the absorption of co-administered drugs when their physicochemical properties are sensitive to these changes. The physicochemical basis by which ingested food/lipids induce changes in the GI tract and influence drug absorption are reviewed. The process of lipid digestion is briefly reviewed and considered in the context of the absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. The effect of food on GI pH is reviewed in terms of location (stomach, upper and lower small intestine) and the temporal relationship between pH and drug absorption. Case studies are presented in which postprandial changes in bioavailability are rationalized in terms of the sensitivity of the physicochemical properties of the administered drug to the altered GI environment.

Abstract
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a dietary modulator of carcinogenesis that can reduce the level of carcinogen binding to DNA. I3C-derived products are potent inducers of certain cytochrome P-450(CYP)-dependent enzyme activities. To investigate whether the protective effects of I3C against carcinogen damage to DNA are associated with increased activities of CYP1A1 enzymes, we examined the relationship of I3C-mediated organ-specific CYP enzyme induction with total levels of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) binding to hepatic and pulmonary DNA of rats. Oral intubation (PO) of I3C (500 mumol/kg body wt.) in 10% DMSO in corn oil produced after 20 h, increases in ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities (associated with CYP1A1 isozyme) of 700-fold, 245-fold and 36-fold in small intestine, lungs and liver, respectively, compared with activities in untreated controls. Hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was increased 4-fold under these conditions. Pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase (PROD) activity (associated with CYP2B isoenzyme) was increased 6-fold in the liver but was unaffected in lung and small intestine. Intraperitoneal injection (IP) of I3C (500 mumol/kg body wt.) produced no significant change in EROD or PROD activities in lung, liver, or small intestine. PO administration of the acid reaction mixture (RXM) of I3C increased hepatic AHH activity (5-fold) and EROD activities in small intestine (650-fold), lung (100-fold) and liver (18-fold). IP administration of RXM (equivalent to 500 mumol I3C/kg body wt.) significantly increased only EROD activity in lung and liver, but did not affect EROD activity in small intestine, AHH activity in liver, or PROD activity in any of the organs examined. Twenty hours after inducer treatment, half of the rats were treated PO with 0.2 mumol [3H]BP in corn oil. Analysis of tissues 5 h after BP administration indicated that compared with untreated controls, administration of I3C and RXM by either route reduced by 30-50% the level of BP binding to hepatic DNA, an effect that was not correlated to CYP1A1 enzyme induction in any of the organs examined. However, PO administration of I3C and RXM produced a 50-70% decrease in carcinogen binding to pulmonary DNA, while IP administration of inducers had no effect on DNA binding in this organ. These results with the lung are consistent with an increased presystemic clearance of BP in the intestine and are discussed in terms of the role of induction of intestinal CYP1A1 activity in the decreased lymphatic and venous transport of unmetabolized BP to the lung.

Abstract
From oils associated with the toxic syndrome have been isolated 3-phenylamino-1,2-aminophenol (PAP) and diesters with fatty acids in addition to fatty anilides. These substances have been obtained by chemical synthesis and administered orally to rats whose lymphatic canal had previously been cannulated. The lipid fraction of the lymph collected at different time intervals was isolated. Its chromatographic study has confirmed the presence of the mentioned substances, as well as a metabolite of them, demonstrating that these products enter the blood by lymphatic absorption.

Abstract
1. After a single oral dose of 800 mg/kg of butylated hydroxytoluene to rats, the plasma concentration of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHT quinone methide), an active metabolite of BHT, reached a maximum 18 h after dosing. 2. The gastrointestinal content of BHT remained constant from 0.5 to 12 h, and began to decline 18 h after dosing. 3. BHT concentrations in epididymal and subcutaneous adipose tissues also attained maxima 18 h after dosing. 4. Volumes and weights of stomachs and contents, and volumes of gastric contents of rats given 800 mg/kg BHT, were 2-3 times larger than those of controls 4-7 h after dosing while there were no significant differences at 24-27 h after dosing. 5. Retention of ingested material in the stomachs was also observed when 18-h starved rats were given 800 mg/kg BHT. 6. Thirty minutes after intraduodenal administration of 800 mg/kg BHT to anaesthetized rats. BHT, but not BHT quinone methide, was 0.4-1.4 micrograms/ml in portal vein plasma. No BHT was detected in plasma from the aorta descendens. BHT and/or BHT radical, and BHT alone, were also found in liver and epididymal adipose tissue at 7-20 and 25-40 micrograms/g wet weight, respectively. 7. These results indicate that delay in attainment of maximum concentration of BHT or its metabolites in internal organs may be due to the long retention in the stomach, caused by high dosage and the inhibitory effect of BHT on gastric function. Moreover, most BHT may not enter lymphatic fluid but it can be absorbed into portal blood.

Abstract
The effect of preexposure of fish to dietary benzo[a]pyrene (BP) on the intestinal metabolism of BP was examined in toadfish (Opsanus tau). The portal veins of toadfish were cannulated following administration of radiolabeled BP to the intestinal lumen. Because these fish lack a lymphatic vessel system, the portal vein is the sole route by which BP and its metabolites enter the circulation. In fish preexposed to dietary BP (10 mg BP/kg food), the radioactivity entering the portal vein was almost entirely (ca. 90%) BP metabolites. In fish fed a laboratory control diet, a smaller percentage (ca. 60%) of the radioactivity entering the portal vein was in the form of BP metabolites. The enhanced efficiency of the intestines of preexposed fish in metabolizing BP appears to be a result of induction of intestinal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity. Intestinal microsomal AHH activities in control and preexposed fish were 0.033 +/- 0.032 and 0.320 +/- 0.060 nmol.min-1.mg-1, respectively. Gel filtration of portal vein plasma indicated differences in the roles of plasma proteins in transporting BP and BP metabolites. Native BP was associated primarily with the high density lipoproteins, whereas organic-soluble BP metabolites were associated primarily with serum albumin fractions. A large percentage of BP metabolites was recovered as water-soluble conjugates. These studies indicate that in fish, the intestine can be an important organ involved in dietary BP metabolism.

Abstract
To determine the role of the intestinal lymphatic system in the absorption of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene, a radiolabeled preparation of the compound was given by intraduodenal infusion to rats in doses of 10 micrograms, 10 mg and 20 mg in olive oil solution. The hydrocarbon appeared to be absorbed from the intestine in a fractional manner, ca. 20% of the administered radioactivity being recovered totally in bile and intestinal lymph in 24 hr at all three dose levels. Biliary radiolabel accounted for 75-82% of combined recovery of radioactivity in bile and lymph with all three doses. The recovery of significant amounts of radiolabel in bile before the appearance of isotope in lymph, together with the fact that the biliary radiolabel greatly exceeded at all times the lymphatic recovery of isotope, suggests that an alternative pathway, presumably the portal venous route, is of major importance in the transport of the absorbed hydrocarbon.
