Abstract
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting 70-90% of obese individuals. In humans, a lower NAFLD incidence is reported in pre-menopausal women, although the mechanisms affording this protection remain under-investigated. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the constitutive androstane nuclear receptor (CAR) plays a role in the pathogenesis of experimental NAFLD. Male and female wild-type (WT) and CAR knock-out (CAR-/-) mice were subjected to a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. We examined the metabolic phenotype of mice through body weight follow-up, glucose tolerance tests, analysis of plasmatic metabolic markers, hepatic lipid accumulation, and hepatic transcriptome. Finally, we examined the potential impact of HFD and CAR deletion on specific brain regions, focusing on glial cells. HFD-induced weight gain and hepatic steatosis are more pronounced in WT males than females. CAR-/- females present a NASH-like hepatic transcriptomic signature suggesting a potential NAFLD to NASH transition. Transcriptomic correlation analysis highlighted a possible cross-talk between CAR and ERα receptors. The peripheral effects of CAR deletion in female mice were associated with astrogliosis in the hypothalamus. These findings prove that nuclear receptor CAR may be a potential mechanism entry-point and a therapeutic target for treating NAFLD/NASH.

Abstract
Animal toxicological studies often fail to mimic the complexity of the human exposome, associating low doses, combined molecules and long-term exposure. Since the reproductive potential of a woman begins in the fetal ovary, the literature regarding the disruption of its reproductive health by environmental toxicants remains limited. Studies draw attention to follicle development, a major determinant for the quality of the oocyte, and the preimplantation embryo, as both of them are targets for epigenetic reprogramming. The "Folliculogenesis and Embryo Development EXPOsure to a mixture of toxicants: evaluation in the rabbit model" (FEDEXPO) project emerged from consideration of these limitations and aims to evaluate in the rabbit model the impacts of an exposure to a mixture of known and suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during two specific windows, including folliculogenesis and preimplantation embryo development. The mixture combines eight environmental toxicants, namely perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), 2,2'4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and bisphenol S (BPS), at relevant exposure levels for reproductive-aged women based on biomonitoring data. The project will be organized in order to assess the consequences of this exposure on the ovarian function of the directly exposed F0 females and monitor the development and health of the F1 offspring from the preimplantation stage. Emphasis will be made on the reproductive health of the offspring. Lastly, this multigenerational study will also tackle potential mechanisms for the inheritance of health disruption via the oocyte or the preimplantation embryo.

Abstract
The nuclear receptor, constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), which forms a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), was initially reported as a transcription factor that regulates hepatic genes involved in detoxication and energy metabolism. Different studies have shown that CAR activation results in metabolic disorders, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, by activating lipogenesis in the liver. Our objective was to determine whether synergistic activations of the CAR/RXR heterodimer could occur in vivo as described in vitro by other authors, and to assess the metabolic consequences. For this purpose, six pesticides, ligands of CAR, were selected, and Tri-butyl-tin (TBT) was used as an RXR agonist. In mice, CAR's synergic activation was induced by dieldrin associated with TBT, and combined effects were induced by propiconazole, bifenox, boscalid, and bupirimate. Moreover, a steatosis, characterized by increased triglycerides, was observed when TBT was combined with dieldrin, propiconazole, bifenox, boscalid, and bupirimate. Metabolic disruption appeared in the form of increased cholesterol and lowered free fatty acid plasma levels. An in-depth analysis revealed increased expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis and lipid import. These results contribute to the growing understanding of how environmental contaminants can influence nuclear receptor activity and associated health risks.

Abstract
Many studies suggest that the potential impact of bisphenol S (BPS) as an endocrine disruptor is comparable to that of bisphenol A (BPA). However, in vitro-to-in vivo and from animal to human extrapolations require knowledge of the plasma free fraction of the active endocrine compounds. The present study aimed to characterise BPA and BPS binding to plasma proteins both in humans and different animal species. The plasma protein binding of BPA and BPS was assessed by equilibrium dialysis in plasma from adult female mice, rats, monkeys, early and late pregnant women as well as paired cord blood, early and late pregnant sheep and foetal sheep. The fraction of free BPA was independent of plasma concentrations and ranged between 4% and 7% in adults. This fraction was 2 to 3.5 times lower than that of BPS in all species except sheep, ranging from 3% to 20%. Plasma binding of BPA and BPS was not affected by the stage of pregnancy, BPA and BPS free fractions representing about 4% and 9% during early and late human pregnancy, respectively. These fractions were lower than the free fractions of BPA (7%) and BPS (12%) in cord blood. Our results suggest that similarly to BPA, BPS is extensively bound to proteins, mainly albumin. The higher fraction of free BPS compared to BPA may have implications for human exposure assessment since BPS free plasma concentrations are expected to be 2 to 3.5 times higher than that of BPA for similar plasma concentration.

Abstract
Doxycycline is an antibiotic widely used in pig farming. As with all antibiotics, only the free concentrations are considered to be bacteriologically active. Historically, the free fraction (fu) in pig plasma has been estimated at 7%, which, given the effective dosage regime used in pigs, leads to free plasma concentrations of doxycycline largely lower than the minimum inhibitory concentrations of the target pathogens. This apparent inconsistency led us to reassess plasma protein binding of doxycycline in pigs. Using an equilibrium dialysis method, the extent of doxycycline binding was measured individually in 26 pigs for total doxycycline concentration ranging from 10 to 1000 μmol/L. Analysis of the data using a non-linear mixed-effects model demonstrated linearity of plasma protein binding with a mean fu value of 31% and a relatively low inter-subject variability of approximately 10%. This new data showing that the free fraction is four times greater than what could have been anticipated from historical data is discussed in particular for the calculation of the PK/PD cut-offs, which are used to establish the clinical breakpoints for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Abstract
Regulatory measures and public concerns regarding bisphenol A (BPA) have led to its replacement by structural analogues, such as BPAF, BPAP, BPB, BPF, BPP, BPS, and BPZ. However, these alternatives are under surveillance for potential endocrine disruption, particularly during the critical period of fetal development. Despite their structural analogies, these BPs differ greatly in their placental transport efficiency. For predicting the fetal exposure of this important class of emerging contaminants, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were developed to model and predict the placental clearance indices (CI). The most usual input parameters were molecular descriptors obtained by modelling, but for bisphenols (BPs) with structural similarities or heteroatoms such as sulfur, these descriptors do not contrast greatly. This study evaluated and compared the capacity of QSAR models based either on molecular or chromatographic descriptors or a combination of both to predict the placental passage of BPs. These chromatographic descriptors include both the retention mechanism and the peak shape on columns that reflect specific molecular interactions between solute and stationary and mobile phases and are characteristic of the molecular structure of BPs. The chromatographic peak shape such as the asymmetry and tailing factors had more influence on predicting the placental passage than the usual retention parameters. Furthermore, the QSAR model, having the best prediction capacity, was obtained with the chromatographic descriptors alone and met the criteria of internal and cross validation. These QSAR models are crucial for predicting the fetal exposure of this important class of emerging contaminants.

Abstract
Due to the restrictions of its use, Bisphenol A (BPA) has been replaced by many structurally related bisphenols (BPs) in consumer products. The endocrine disrupting potential similar to that of BPA has been described for several bisphenols, there is therefore an urgent need of toxicokinetic (TK) data for these emerging BPs in order to evaluate if their internal exposure could increase the risk of endocrine disruption. We investigated TK behaviors of eleven BPA substitutes (BPS, BPAF, BPB, BPF, BPM, BPZ, 3-3BPA, BP4-4, BPAP, BPP, and BPFL) by intravenous and oral administrations of mixtures of them to piglets and serial collection of blood over 72 h and urine over 24 h, to evaluate their disposition. Data were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and a comparison was made with TK predicted by the generic model HTTK package. The low urinary excretion of some BPs, in particular BPM, BPP and BPFL, is an important aspect to consider in predicting human exposure based on urine biomonitoring. Despite their structural similarities, for the same oral dose, all BPA analogues investigated showed a higher systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of the unconjugated Bisphenol) than BPA (2 to 4 fold for 3-3BPA, BPAF, BPB and BPZ, 7-20 fold for BP4-4, BPAP, BPP, BPFL, BPF and BPM and 150 fold for BPS) due mainly to a considerable variation of oral bioavailability (proportion of BP administered by oral route that attains the systemic circulation unchanged). Given similarities in the digestive tract between pigs and humans, our TK data suggest that replacing BPA with some of its alternatives, particularly BPS, will likely lead to higher internal exposure to potential endocrine disruptive compounds. These findings are crucial for evaluating the risk of human exposure to these emerging BPs.

Abstract
Fetal brain development depends on maternofetal thyroid function. In rodents and sheep, perinatal BPA exposure is associated with maternal and/or fetal thyroid disruption and alterations in central nervous system development as demonstrated by metabolic modulations in the encephala of mice. We hypothesized that a gestational exposure to a low dose of BPA affects maternofetal thyroid function and fetal brain development in a region-specific manner. Pregnant ewes, a relevant model for human thyroid and brain development, were exposed to BPA (5 µg/kg bw/d, sc). The thyroid status of ewes during gestation and term fetuses at delivery was monitored. Fetal brain development was assessed by metabolic fingerprints at birth in 10 areas followed by metabolic network-based analysis. BPA treatment was associated with a significant time-dependent decrease in maternal TT4 serum concentrations. For 8 fetal brain regions, statistical models allowed discriminating BPA-treated from control lambs. Metabolic network computational analysis revealed that prenatal exposure to BPA modulated several metabolic pathways, in particular excitatory and inhibitory amino-acid, cholinergic, energy and lipid homeostasis pathways. These pathways might contribute to BPA-related neurobehavioral and cognitive disorders. Discrimination was particularly clear for the dorsal hippocampus, the cerebellar vermis, the dorsal hypothalamus, the caudate nucleus and the lateral part of the frontal cortex. Compared with previous results in rodents, the use of a larger animal model allowed to examine specific brain areas, and generate evidence of the distinct region-specific effects of fetal BPA exposure on the brain metabolome. These modifications occur concomitantly to subtle maternal thyroid function alteration. The functional link between such moderate thyroid changes and fetal brain metabolomic fingerprints remains to be determined as well as the potential implication of other modes of action triggered by BPA such as estrogenic ones. Our results pave the ways for new scientific strategies aiming at linking environmental endocrine disruption and altered neurodevelopment.

BACKGROUND Although in vivo studies of internal exposure to hazardous substances have been carried out for many years, there is room for progress to improve their informative value while adhering to the four R's: replacement, reduction, refinement, and responsibility rule. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to illustrate how toxicokinetic (TK) study design and data analysis can be implemented under the 4R rule to plan a chronic dosage regimen for investigating TK/toxicodynamic (TD) relationships. METHODS The intravenous (IV) and oral serum concentrations of eight hazardous environmental contaminants including 1,1-Dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (pp'DDE), ß-Hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), 2,2'4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), di(2ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), and bisphenol S (BPS) were obtained after mixture dosing in rabbits using a sparse sampling design. Data were comprehensively analyzed using nonlinear mixed effect (NLME) modeling. RESULTS The short persistence of BPS and of the DEHP metabolite (mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate), reflected by their mean residence times (MRT) of a few hours, was due to their efficient clearance (CL, 3.2 and 0.47L/kg/h). The longer MRT of the other compounds (1-48 d) resulted either from their extremely low clearance (lower than 0.01L/kg/h for PFOA and PFOS) or from their very large volume of distribution (VSS) ranging from 33 to 45L/kg. Estimates of CL, VSS, and bioavailability were used to compute the oral loading and daily maintenance doses required to attain a nominal steady-state serum concentration of 1 ng/mL. Simulations with the NLME model were applied to predict the serum concentration profile and to contrast the differential rates of accumulation in the central vs. peripheral compartments. CONCLUSION NLME modeling of the IV and oral TK of hazardous environmental contaminants, in rabbits while fulfilling the 4R rule, was able to provide the physiological basis for interspecies extrapolation of exposure rates in a TK/TD approach to risk assessment. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP8957.

Abstract
Regulatory measures and public concerns regarding bisphenol A (BPA) have led to its replacement by a variety of alternatives in consumer products. Due to their structural similarity to BPA, these alternatives are under surveillance, however, for potential endocrine disruption. Understanding the materno-fetal transfer of these BPA-related alternatives across the placenta is therefore crucial to assess prenatal exposure risks. The objective of the study was to assess and compare the placental transfer of a set of 15 selected bisphenols (BPs) (BP 4-4, BPA, BPAF, BPAP, 3-3 BPA, BPB, BPBP, BPC, BPE, BPF, BPFL, BPM, BPP, BPS and BPZ) using the ex vivo human placental perfusion model. The UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of these BPs in perfusion media, within a concentration range of 0.003-5 μM, was able to measure placenta transfer rates as low as 0.6%-4%. Despite their structural similarities, these BPs differed greatly in placental transport efficiency. The placental transfer rates of BP4-4, BPAP, BPE, BPF, 3-3BPA, BPB, BPA were similar to that of antipyrine, indicating that their main transport mechanism was passive diffusion. By contrast, the placental transfer rates of BPFL and BPS were very limited, and intermediate for BPBP, BPZ, BPC, BPM, BPP and BPAF, suggesting weak diffusional permeability and/or that their passage might involve efflux transport. These placental transfer data will be particularly useful for predicting the fetal exposure of this important class of emerging contaminants.

Abstract
Due to restriction of the use of BPA, several structural analogues such as BPS and BPF have been proposed for its replacement in many consumer products. This has increased the prevalence of BPS and BPF in urine from tested cohorts. However, these substitutes have similar endocrine disrupting properties to BPA, particularly on reproductive and metabolic functions, which suggests that fetal exposure to these analogues could be of concern for human health. Bisphenols (BPs) are mainly metabolized to glucuronides (BP-Gs), which are considered as inactive but provide a relevant marker of fetal exposure during pregnancy. In most instances, these metabolites are indirectly quantified after hydrolysis and measurement of the corresponding native BPs, which may lead to bias due to spurious BPs contamination during blood collection and/or analyses. We have developed a new method for direct quantification of BP-Gs, which has the advantage of not being affected by errors related to the presence of BPs. First, BP-Gs were extracted from plasma by anion exchange solid phase extraction. They were then labelled with dansyl chloride, using experimentally-optimized incubation conditions, after which the dansyl derivatives were injected into an on-line SPE-UHPLC/MS/MS system. The performance of the method, in terms of sensitivity, precision and accuracy, was evaluated in plasma over a concentration range of 0.05-5 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day CV% precision were lower than 20% with accuracies ranging from 93% to 115%. The limit of quantification was set at 0.05 ng/mL. The method was then applied to measure BP-Gs in forty-four cord plasma samples. Although no BPF-G was found, BPA-G and BPS-G was determined in almost half of the cord plasma samples with concentration ranges nd-0.089 ng/mL and nd-0.586 ng/mL, respectively.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do daily manipulations of preimplantation embryos with polycarbonate (PC)-made bisphenol A (BPA)-releasing strippers influence embryo development? SUMMARY ANSWER Compared to glass strippers, PC strippers enhance the blastocyst development rate but this does not seem to be BPA-related. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY PC strippers have been shown to release tiny amounts (around 0.5 ng/ml BPA) of BPA in routine human IVF procedures. A chronic exposure to BPA either in vivo or in vitro during the preimplantation period can impact post-implantation and post-natal development. BPA can act rapidly by binding to membrane receptors and inducing rapid non-genomic effects. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This experimental study using mouse embryos had a balanced design and blinded evaluations of the endpoints. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS In vivo fertilized zygotes were obtained from outbred Swiss CD1 mice crossings after an ovarian stimulation. The zygotes were allocated to three daily handling conditions (HCs) and cultured until Day 4 in a single human commercial medium. Each day, the embryos were handled for 20 s either in a PC stripper (HC1) or in a glass stripper (HC2). In HC3, the embryos were pre-exposed to 0.5 ng/ml BPA before being handled for 20 s in a glass stripper. Handling operations were repeated on Days 1, 2 and 3. Embryo development was assessed blindly on Day 4. Expanded blastocysts were selected for a transcriptomic analysis using Agilent Sureprint G3 Mouse GE v2 microarrays and the retrotransposon LINE1-Orf2 expression was analysed using qRT-PCR, as a proxy for a global evaluation of the epigenetic status. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Compared to the embryos manipulated in HC2 (n = 243), those in HC1 (n = 228) developed significantly more often to the blastocyst stage (55 vs 46%; P < 0.05). It appears the effect of these PC strippers was not BPA-related because embryos pre-exposed to BPA (HC3, n = 230) showed no difference in the blastocyst rate when compared to HC2 (43 vs 46%). When analysing same-stage blastocysts, we noticed no difference in the embryo gene expression between the three HC groups. LARGE SCALE DATA https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE148868. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Our results using a mouse model designed to mimic human conditions (outbred strain, human commercial IVF dishes and a unique commercial human embryonic culture media) are reassuring since no gene was found to be differentially expressed, including LINE-1 genes, as a proxy for a global evaluation of the epigenetic status. However, no global epigenetic analysis of the genome has been performed. Furthermore, we did not evaluate post-implantation events, although BPA exposure during peri-conception could affect foeto-placental and post-natal development. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Based on the precautionary principle, several European countries banned the use of BPA in baby bottles and food packaging several years before European Agencies took an official position. The question of applying this principle to plastics in closed contact with human embryos is raised. Further studies are needed for a decision to be made. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) This study was supported by a grant from the Agence de Biomédecine (AOR 2016). The authors declare no competing interest.

Abstract
Background Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is broadly used in common consumer goods, including as a food additive (E171 in Europe) for colouring and opacifying properties. The E171 additive contains TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), part of them being absorbed in the intestine and accumulated in several systemic organs. Exposure to TiO2-NPs in rodents during pregnancy resulted in alteration of placental functions and a materno-foetal transfer of NPs, both with toxic effects on the foetus. However, no human data are available for pregnant women exposed to food-grade TiO2-NPs and their potential transfer to the foetus. In this study, human placentae collected at term from normal pregnancies and meconium (the first stool of newborns) from unpaired mothers/children were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled to energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy for their titanium (Ti) contents and for analysis of TiO2 particle deposition, respectively. Using an ex vivo placenta perfusion model, we also assessed the transplacental passage of food-grade TiO2 particles. Results By ICP-MS analysis, we evidenced the presence of Ti in all placentae (basal level ranging from 0.01 to 0.48 mg/kg of tissue) and in 50% of the meconium samples (0.02–1.50 mg/kg), suggesting a materno-foetal passage of Ti. STEM-EDX observation of the placental tissues confirmed the presence of TiO2-NPs in addition to iron (Fe), tin (Sn), aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) as mixed or isolated particle deposits. TiO2 particles, as well as Si, Al, Fe and zinc (Zn) particles were also recovered in the meconium. In placenta perfusion experiments, confocal imaging and SEM-EDX analysis of foetal exudate confirmed a low transfer of food-grade TiO2 particles to the foetal side, which was barely quantifiable by ICP-MS. Diameter measurements showed that 70 to 100% of the TiO2 particles recovered in the foetal exudate were nanosized. Conclusions Altogether, these results show a materno-foetal transfer of TiO2 particles during pregnancy, with food-grade TiO2 as a potential source for foetal exposure to NPs. These data emphasize the need for risk assessment of chronic exposure to TiO2-NPs during pregnancy.

Abstract
Dolutegravir therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could be improved by measuring the unbound dolutegravir plasma concentration (Cu), particularly in patients experiencing virological failure or toxicity despite achieving appropriate DTG total plasma concentrations. Equilibrium dialysis (ED) is the gold standard to measure Cu, but ED is time consuming, precluding its use in clinical practice. In contrast, ultrafiltration is applicable to TDM, but is sensitive to numerous analytical conditions. In order to evaluate measurements of Cu by ultrafiltration, ultrafiltration conditions were validated by comparison with ED. DTG concentrations were measured by LC–MS/MS. Three ultrafiltration factors (temperature, duration and relative centrifugal force [RCF]) were evaluated and compared to ED (25/37 °C), using a design of experiment strategy. Temperature was found to influence Cu results by ED (p = 0.036) and UF (p = 0.002) when results were analysed with ANOVA. Relative centrifugal force (2000 g) and time (20 min) interacted to influence Cu (p = 0.006), while individually they did not influence Cu (p = 0.88 and p = 0.42 for RCF and time). Ultrafiltration conditions which yielded the most comparable results to ED were 37 °C, 1000 g for 20 min. Ultrafiltration results greatly depended on analytical conditions, confirming the need to validate the method by comparison with ED in order to correctly interpret DTG Cu.

Abstract
The measurement of bisphenol-S (BPS) and its glucurono-conjugate (BPSG) in urine may be used for the biomonitoring of exposure in populations. However, this requires a thorough knowledge of their toxicokinetics. The time courses of BPS and BPSG were assessed in accessible biological matrices of orally and dermally exposed volunteers. Under the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Montreal, six volunteers were orally exposed to a BPS-d8 deuterated dose of 0.1 mg/kg body weight (bw). One month later, 1 mg/kg bw of BPS-d8 were applied on 40 cm2 of the forearm and then washed 6 h after application. Blood samples were taken prior to dosing and at fixed time periods over 48 h after treatment; complete urine voids were collected pre-exposure and at pre-established intervals over 72 h postdosing. Following oral exposure, the plasma concentration-time courses of BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 over 48 h evolved in parallel, and showed a rapid appearance and elimination. Average peak values (±SD) were reached at 0.7 ± 0.1 and 1.1 ± 0.4 h postdosing and mean (±SD) apparent elimination half-lives (t½) of 7.9 ± 1.1 and 9.3 ± 7.0 h were calculated from the terminal phase of BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 in plasma, respectively. The fraction of BPS-d8 reaching the systemic circulation unchanged (i.e. bioavailability) was further estimated at 62 ± 5% on average (±SD) and the systemic plasma clearance at 0.57 ± 0.07 L/kg bw/h. Plasma concentration-time courses and urinary excretion rate profiles roughly evolved in parallel for both substances, as expected. The average percent (±SD) of the administered dose recovered in urine as BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 over the 0-72 h period postdosing was 1.72 ± 1.3 and 54 ± 10%. Following dermal application, plasma levels were under the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) at most time points. However, peak values were reached between 5 and 8 h depending on individuals, suggesting a slower absorption rate compared to oral exposure. Similarly, limited amounts of BPS-d8 and its conjugate were recovered in urine and peak excretion rates were reached between 5 and 11 h postdosing. The average percent (±SD) of the administered dose recovered in urine as BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 was about 0.004 ± 0.003 and 0.09 ± 0.07%, respectively. This study provided greater precision on the kinetics of this contaminant in humans and, in particular, evidenced major differences between BPA and BPS kinetics with much higher systemic levels of active BPS than BPA, an observation explained by a higher oral bioavailability of BPS than BPA. These data should also be useful in developing a toxicokinetic model for a better interpretation of biomonitoring data.

Abstract
There are many challenges to overcome in order to properly understand both the exposure to, and effects of, endocrine disruptors (EDs). This is particularly true with respect to fetal life where ED exposures are a major issue requiring toxicokinetic studies of materno-fetal exchange and identification of pathophysiological consequences. The sheep, a large, monotocous, species, is very suitable for in utero fetal catheterization allowing a modelling approach predictive of human fetal exposure. Predicting adverse effects of EDs on human health is frequently impeded by the wide interspecies differences in the regulation of endocrine functions and their effects on biological processes. Because of its similarity to humans as regards gestational and thyroid physiologies and brain ontogeny, the sheep constitutes a highly appropriate model to move one step further on thyroid disruptor hazard assessment. As a grazing animal, the sheep has also proven to be useful in the evaluation of the consequences of chronic environmental exposure to "real-life" complex mixtures at different stages of the reproductive life cycle.

Abstract
The oral cavity is one of the main route for environmental contaminations associated to many chronic diseases (cancers, fertility and behavior disorders for example) via alimentation, medications and respiration. These environmental factors including, among others, endocrine disruptors and excessive fluoride can disrupt dental development and thus generate irreversible enamel defects. These defects are then treated with materials that may release molecules capable of generating these defects, leading to a vicious circle, particularly in pregnant women and young children. The present paper aims to review the state of knowledge, questions and controversies on common environmental factors in contact with the oral cavity. It also reviews their mechanisms of action and the mediators involved in enamel pathologies associated with environmental conditions. Dental tissues can not only be targeted by environmental factors but can also serve as early and easily accessible markers of exposure to these agents. Understanding and characterizing the environmental impact in the oral cavity will help to prevent multiple diseases, oral and distant, whose link with oral homeostasis is just being explored.

Abstract
Previous data obtained in piglets suggested that despite structural analogy with Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol S (BPS) elimination may proceed more slowly, resulting in a much higher systemic exposure to unconjugated BPS than to BPA. Interspecies allometric scaling was applied to predict the toxicokinetic (TK) parameters of BPS, namely plasma clearance in humans from values obtained in animals, and thus contribute to assessment of the human internal exposure to BPS. Allometric scaling was performed using mean BPS plasma clearance values measured in rats after intravenous administration of 5 mg BPS /kg body weight (BW) and those previously obtained in piglets and sheep using identical IV BPS dosing and analytical procedures. The BPS plasma clearance, evaluated at 0.92 L/kg.h in rats, was proportional to species body weight, enabling the prediction of human BPS plasma clearance by extrapolating to a BW of 70 kg. The estimated BPS plasma clearance in humans was thus 0.92 L/min (0.79 L/kg.h), i.e. about two times lower than the previously estimated BPA clearance (1.79 L/min). By increasing systemic exposure to the active moiety of an environmental estrogenic chemical, this less efficient clearance of BPS in humans, as compared with BPA, might worsen the harmful consequences of replacing BPA by BPS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given its hormonal activity, bisphenol S (BPS) as a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) could actually increase the risk of endocrine disruption if its toxicokinetic (TK) properties, namely its oral availability and systemic persistency, were higher than those of BPA. OBJECTIVES The TK behavior of BPA and BPS was investigated by administering the two compounds by intravenous and oral routes in piglet, a known valid model for investigating oral TK. METHODS Experiments were conducted in piglets to evaluate the kinetics of BPA, BPS, and their glucuronoconjugated metabolites in plasma and urine after intravenous administration of BPA, BPS, and BPS glucuronide (BPSG) and gavage administration of BPA and BPS. A population semiphysiologically based TK model describing the disposition of BPA and BPS and their glucuronides was built from these data to estimate the key TK parameters that drive the internal exposure to active compounds. RESULTS The data indicated that almost all the BPS oral dose was absorbed and transported into the liver where only 41% of BPS was glucuronidated, leading to a systemic bioavailability of 57.4%. In contrast, only 77% of the oral dose of BPA was absorbed and underwent an extensive first-pass glucuronidation either in the gut (44%) or in the liver (53%), thus accounting for the low systemic bioavailability of BPA (0.50%). Due to the higher systemic availability of BPS, in comparison with BPA, and its lower plasma clearance (3.5 times lower), the oral BPS systemic exposure was on average about 250 times higher than for BPA for an equal oral molar dose of the two compounds. CONCLUSION Given the similar digestive tracts of pigs and humans, our results suggest that replacing BPA with BPS will likely lead to increased internal exposure to an endocrine-active compound that would be of concern for human health. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP4599.

Abstract
Direct injection-mass spectrometry can be used to perform high-throughput metabolomic fingerprinting. This work aims to evaluate a global analytical workflow in terms of sample preparation (urine sample dilution), high-resolution detection (quality of generated data based on criteria such as mass measurement accuracy and detection sensitivity) and data analysis using dedicated bioinformatics tools. Investigation was performed on a large number of biological samples collected from sheep infected or not with scrapie. Direct injection-mass spectrometry approach is usually affected by matrix effects, eventually hampering detection of some relevant biomarkers. Reference compounds were spiked in biological samples to help evaluate the quality of direct injection-mass spectrometry data produced by Fourier Transform mass spectrometry. Despite the potential of high-resolution detection, some drawbacks still remain. The most critical is the presence of matrix effects, which could be minimized by optimizing the sample dilution factor. The data quality in terms of mass measurement accuracy and reproducible intensity was evaluated. Good repeatability was obtained for the chosen dilution factor (i.e., 2000). More than 150 analyses were performed in less than 16 hours using the optimized direct injection-mass spectrometry approach. Discrimination of different status of sheeps in relation to scrapie infection (i.e., scrapie-affected, preclinical scrapie or healthy) was obtained from the application of Shrinkage Discriminant Analysis to the direct injection-mass spectrometry data. The most relevant variables related to this discrimination were selected and annotated. This study demonstrated that the choice of appropriated dilution faction is indispensable for producing quality and informative direct injection-mass spectrometry data. Successful application of direct injection-mass spectrometry approach for high throughput analysis of a large number of biological samples constitutes the proof of the concept.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the bidirectional transfer of Bisphenol S (BPS) and its main metabolite, BPS Glucuronide (BPSG), using the model of perfused human placenta and to compare the obtained values with those of Bisphenol A (BPA) and BPA Glucuronide. Fourteen placentas at term were perfused in an open dual circuit with deuterated BPS (1 and 5 μM) and non-labelled BPSG (2.5 μM) and a freely diffusing marker antipyrine (800 ng/ml) in the presence of albumin (25 mg/ml). In a second experiment, the potential role of P-glycoprotein in the active efflux of BPS across the placental barrier was studied using the well-established P-glycoprotein inhibitor, PSC833 (2 and 4 μM). Placental transfer of BPS was much lower than that of BPA in both directions. The placental clearance index of BPS in the materno-fetal direction was three times lower than in the opposite direction, strongly suggesting some active efflux transport. However, our results show that P-glycoprotein is not involved in limiting the materno-fetal transfer of BPS. Placental transfer of BPSG in the fetal compartment was almost non-existent indicating that, in the fetal compartment, BPSG originates mainly from feto-placental metabolism. The feto-maternal clearance index for BPSG was 20-fold higher than the materno-fetal index. We conclude that the blood-placental barrier is much more efficient in limiting fetal exposure to BPS than to BPA, indicating that the placenta has a crucial role in protecting the human fetus from BPS exposure.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used as a substitute for Bisphenol A in consumer products. Despite its potential endocrine-disrupting effects and widespread exposure, toxicokinetic data, particularly during the critical period of pregnancy, are not available for BPS. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the mechanisms determining fetal exposure to BPS and to BPS glucuronide (BPSG) and to compare them with those prevailing for BPA. The disposition of BPS and BPSG was evaluated in the materno-fetal unit of the catheterized pregnant ewe model, following intravenous administrations of BPS and BPSG to mothers and their fetuses. In a second experiment, the rate of BPS accumulation in the fetal compartment was determined under steady-state conditions after repeated intravenous BPS administrations to the mother. In the maternal compartment, BPS was mainly metabolized into BPSG and totally eliminated in urine. Only 0.40% of the maternal dose was transferred to the fetus. However, once in the fetal compartment, 26% of the fetal dose was rapidly eliminated through placental transfer, while 46% of BPS was metabolized into BPSG which remained trapped in the fetal compartment. Thus, the elimination of BPSG from the fetal compartment required its back-conversion into bioactive BPS, leading to an 87% enhancement of the fetal BPS exposure. Our findings demonstrate that, despite the low materno-fetal placental transfer of BPS, this substitute for BPA is able to accumulate in the fetal compartment after repeated maternal exposure, leading to chronic fetal exposure to BPS in a range of concentrations similar to those of BPA.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) risk assessment is hampered by the difficulty of determining the extent of internal exposure in the human fetus and uncertainties regarding BPA toxicokinetics (TK) in the maternal-fetal unit. A feto-maternal TK model describing BPA and BPA glucuronide (BPAG) disposition in sheep was humanized, using human TK data obtained after d6-BPA administration on a cookie, to predict BPA and BPAG kinetics in the human mother-fetus unit. Validation of the model predictions included the assessed dose proportionality of BPA and BPAG disposition and the similarity between the simulated and measured time courses of BPA and BPAG in fetal rhesus monkeys after BPA maternal dosing. The model predicted fluctuations in fetal BPA concentrations associated with typical maternal exposure to BPA through the diet, with similar trough (0.011 ng/L vs 0.014 ng/L) and lower peak BPA concentrations (0.023 ng/L vs 0.14 ng/L) in fetal than in maternal plasma. BPAG concentrations in fetal plasma were predicted to increase over time to reach a steady value (29 ng/L) reflecting the cumulative BPA dose received by the fetus. Model-predicted BPAG concentrations in fetal plasma are consistent with reported levels in human cord blood that may be considered as relevant markers of the BPA dose entering blood throughout fetal life.

Abstract
Many uncertainties remain regarding the potential of bisphenol A (BPA) as a thyroid disruptor in mammals and the relevance of experimental data to humans. The relevance of the exposure schemes used in experimental in vivo studies is also a major source of uncertainty when analysing the risk of BPA exposure for human health. In this context, the goals of our study, conducted in an ovine model relevant to human gestation and thyroid physiologies, were to: 1) determine the equivalence of subcutaneous and dietary exposures and 2) determine if environmentally relevant doses of BPA can alter gestational and newborn thyroid functions. The difference between the two routes of exposure was mainly related to the overall BPA exposure and much less to the peak serum concentrations. Interestingly, BPA-GLUC (the main metabolite of BPA) internal exposure via both routes was almost identical. The decrease in thyroid hormones concentration overtime was more accentuated in ewes treated with BPA, particularly with the medium dose (50 μg/(kg.d); SC) for which the maximum BPA concentrations were predicted to be within the 1-10 ng/mL range i.e. very similar to the highest blood concentrations reported in humans. The balance between TT4 and rT3 varied differently between the vehicle and the medium dose group. The mechanisms underlying those modifications of maternal thyroid homeostasis remain to be determined. Our study did not evidence significant modification of TSH secretion or binding to serum proteins but might suggest an effect at the level of deiodinases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because only 25% of cases of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) have a known etiology, the aim of this review was to summarize the associations and mechanisms of the impact of the environment on this pathology. Eligible studies were selected from an electronic literature search from the PUBMED database from January 2000 to February 2016 and associated references in published studies. Search terms included ovary, follicle, oocyte, endocrine disruptor, environmental exposure, occupational exposure, environmental contaminant, pesticide, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, polychlorinated biphenyl PCB, phenol, bisphenol, flame retardant, phthalate, dioxin, phytoestrogen, tobacco, smoke, cigarette, cosmetic, xenobiotic. The literature search was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We have included the human and animal studies corresponding to the terms and published in English. We have excluded articles that included results that did not concern ovarian pathology and those focused on ovarian cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis or precocious puberty. We have also excluded genetic, auto-immune or iatrogenic causes from our analysis. Finally, we have excluded animal data that does not concern mammals and studies based on results from in vitro culture. Data have been grouped according to the studied pollutants in order to synthetize their impact on follicular development and follicular atresia and the molecular pathways involved. Ninety-seven studies appeared to be eligible and were included in the present study, even though few directly address POI. Phthalates, bisphenol A, pesticides and tobacco were the most reported substances having a negative impact on ovarian function with an increased follicular depletion leading to an earlier age of menopause onset. These effects were found when exposure occured at different times throughout the lifetime from the prenatal to the adult period, possibly due to different mechanisms. The main mechanism seemed to be an increase in atresia of pre-antral follicles. CONCLUSION Environmental pollutants are probably a cause of POI. Health officials and the general public must be aware of this environmental effect in order to implement individual and global preventive actions.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do the embryo culture media and plastic materials used during assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratory procedures expose embryos to bisphenol A (BPA)? SUMMARY ANSWER BPA was not detected in embryo culture media or protein supplements at concentrations above those encountered in normal patient serum and follicular fluids. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY BPA is strongly suspected of altering the epigenome during mammalian development. Medical devices have been shown to be a source of BPA exposure in adult and neonatal intensive care units. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION An analytical study of ART culture media and plastic labware products was performed under conditions close to routine practice and if BPA was detected, tests were carried out under more stringent conditions. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Two single-step embryo culture media, two sequential media and three different protein supplements [a purified human serum albumin (HSA), a synthetic serum substitute, and a recombinant HSA] were tested for BPA. Thirty-three different plastic consumables, used from oocyte collection through to embryo transfer, were tested for their ability to leach BPA into their surrounding environment.BPA concentrations were measured according to a previously described liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method. This method is linear over the calibration range from 0.5 to 100 ng/ml using a linear model weighted by 1/X² and validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, repeatability, reproducibility and limit of quantification (0.5 ng/ml). MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Neither the culture media nor the protein supplements were shown to contain detectable levels of BPA. None of the plastic materials leached BPA into the surrounding medium at levels higher than the upper limit detected previously in serum and follicular fluids in women (about 2 ng/ml). However, the plastic of the three tested strippers used for oocyte denudation/embryo handling did contain BPA. Two of these strippers are made with polycarbonate, a plastic whose synthesis is known to require BPA. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This study is limited to the ART media and materials tested here and using a BPA assay with a limit of quantification at 0.5 ng/ml. A minimum volume was required for testing, and one type of plastic labware could not be tested in conditions identical to those in routine use. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Although we demonstrated that some plastic materials used in ART contain BPA, under routine conditions none appear capable of leaching BPA at levels higher than those from maternal internal exposure. However, BPA is strongly suspected of altering the epigenome. Since important epigenetic modifications occur in the early embryonic stage, it is questionable whether plastics that contain BPA, polycarbonate in particular, should be used in the manufacture of plastic consumables for ART procedures. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS This work was supported by a grant from the Agence de Biomédecine (AOR 2012) and by a grant from the French Ministry of Health (Clinical Research Hospital Program 2012; no.12-018-0560). The authors declared no competing interest.

Abstract
Previous studies in experimental animals have shown that maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) during late pregnancy leads to high plasma concentrations of BPA glucuronide (BPAG) in fetus compared to mother due to the inability of BPAG to cross the placental barrier. A recent in vitro study has reported that BPAG can exert adipogenic effect underlining the need for characterization of the fetal disposition of BPAG. Experiments were conducted in chronically catheterized fetal sheep to determine the contribution of BPAG hydrolysis to BPA to the elimination of BPAG from the fetal compartment and its resulting effect on the overall fetal exposure to free BPA. Serial sampling of fetal arterial blood, amniotic fluid, maternal venous blood and urine was performed following separate single doses of BPA and BPAG administered intravenously to eight fetal/maternal pairs after cesarean section, and repeated BPAG doses given to two fetal sheep. On average 67% of the BPA entering the fetal circulation was rapidly eliminated through fetal to maternal clearance, with a very short half-life (20 min), while the remaining fraction (24%) was glucuronoconjugated. BPA conjugation-deconjugation cycling was responsible for a 43% increase of the overall fetal exposure to free BPA. A very specific pattern of fetal exposure to free BPA was observed due to its highly increased persistence with a hydrolysis-dependent plasma terminal free BPA half-life of several tens of hours. These findings suggest that although the high fetal to maternal clearance of free BPA protects the fetus from transient increases in free BPA plasma concentrations associated with maternal BPA intake, low but sustained basal free BPA concentrations are maintained in the fetus through BPA conjugation-deconjugation cycling. The potential health implications of these low but sustained basal concentrations of free BPA in fetal plasma should be addressed especially when considering time-dependent effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) risk assessment is currently hindered by the rejection of reported higher-than-expected plasma BPA concentrations in humans after oral ingestion. These are deemed incompatible with the almost complete hepatic first-pass metabolism of BPA into its inactive glucurono-conjugated form, BPA glucuronide (BPAG). OBJECTIVES Using dogs as a valid model, we compared plasma concentrations of BPA over a 24-hr period after intravenous, orogastric, and sublingual administration in order to establish the absolute bioavailability of BPA administered sublingually and to compare it with oral bioavailability. METHODS Six dogs were sublingually administered BPA at 0.05 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg. We compared the time course of plasma BPA concentrations with that obtained in the same dogs after intravenous administration of the same BPA doses and after a 20-mg/kg BPA dose administrated by orogastric gavage. RESULTS The data indicated that the systemic bioavailability of BPA deposited sublingually was high (70-90%) and that BPA transmucosal absorption from the oral cavity led to much higher BPA internal exposure than obtained for BPA absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The concentration ratio of BPAG to BPA in plasma was approximately 100-fold lower following sublingual administration than after orogastric dosing, distinguishing the two pathways of absorption. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that BPA can be efficiently and very rapidly absorbed through the oral mucosa after sublingual exposure. This efficient systemic entry route of BPA may lead to far higher BPA internal exposures than known for BPA absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure florfenicol concentrations in ovine tear fluid after IM and SC administration and determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of florfenicol against field isolates of Mycoplasma organisms potentially involved in infectious keratoconjunctivitis. ANIMALS 9 healthy adult Lacaune ewes. PROCEDURES Animals received an IM and SC administration of florfenicol (20 mg/kg) in a 2-way crossover design. Samples of blood and tear fluid were collected before and for 24 hours after administration. Concentrations of florfenicol in plasma and tear fluid were measured via high-performance liquid chromatography. The MIC of florfenicol for various Mycoplasma strains cultured from sheep and goats was determined via an agar dilution method. RESULTS Mean florfenicol concentration in tear fluid for the 24-hour period was significantly higher after IM administration (0.70 μg/mL) than after SC administration (0.22 μg/mL) and was maintained for a longer duration. The lacrimal fluid-to-plasma concentration ratio was not different between the 2 routes of administration, with mean values of 40.2% and 32.5% after IM and SC administration, respectively. The MIC for Mycoplasma agalactiae, Mycoplasma conjunctivae, and Mycoplasma mycoides isolates ranged from 0.5 to 8 μg of florfenicol/mL. Two strains of M agalactiae could be considered resistant to florfenicol. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Florfenicol readily penetrated the preocular tear fluid of sheep after IM and SC administration. For both routes of administration, doses > 20 mg/kg would be necessary to achieve tear fluid concentrations of florfenicol greater than the MICs for most strains of Mycoplasma organisms.

Abstract
The widespread human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogen interfering with developmental processes, raises the question of the mechanisms determining fetal exposure to BPA. A physiological model was developed in ewes to determine whether the pregnancy-associated physiological changes and the metabolic specificities of the fetal-placental unit can influence BPA toxicokinetics (TK) and fetal exposure to BPA. In a first longitudinal study, BPA was infused (2 mg/[kg·day] i.v. for 1 day) into ewes before breeding, at early and late stages of gestation, and after lambing. In a second study, BPA and BPA-glucuronide (BPA-G) were infused intravenously into pregnant ewes or into fetuses at 4 mo of gestation. BPA and its metabolites were assayed in maternal and fetal plasma and amniotic fluid sampled at steady state and after the end of the infusion. The pregnancy status did not modify the TK parameters of BPA and of BPA-G. Five percent of the BPA dose infused into the pregnant ewe was transferred across the placenta to the fetus. The fetal-placental unit was very efficient in metabolizing BPA into conjugated compounds; those metabolites remained trapped in the fetal-placental compartment, leading to a high fetal exposure to BPA conjugates. Taking into account a body weight adjustment, the ovine fetus in late pregnancy is exposed to a BPA dose similar to that of its mother. In contrast to its mother, the fetus exhibits much higher and sustained exposure to BPA metabolites without evidence of their hydrolysis.

Abstract
The putative thyroid-disrupting properties of bisphenol A (BPA) highlight the need for an evaluation of fetal exposure and its consequence on the mother/newborn thyroid functions in models relevant to human. The goals of this study were to characterize in sheep a relevant model for human pregnancy and thyroid physiology, the internal exposures of the fetuses and their mothers to BPA and its main metabolite BPA-glucuronide (Gluc), and to determine to what extent it might be associated with thyroid disruption. Ewes were treated with BPA [5 mg/(kg · d) sc] or vehicle from d 28 until the end of pregnancy. Unconjugated BPA did not appear to accumulate in pregnant ewes, and its concentration was similar in the newborns and their mothers (0.13 ± 0.02 and 0.18 ± 0.03 nmol/ml in cord and maternal blood, respectively). In amniotic fluid and cord blood, BPA-Gluc concentrations were about 1300-fold higher than those of BPA. Total T(4) concentrations were decreased in BPA-treated pregnant ewes and in the cord and the jugular blood of their newborns (30% decrease). A similar difference was observed for free T(4) plasma concentrations in the jugular blood of the newborns. Our results show in a long-gestation species with a similar regulatory scheme of thyroid function as humans that BPA in utero exposure can be associated with hypothyroidism in the newborns. If such an effect were to be confirmed for a more relevant exposure scheme to BPA, this would constitute a major issue for BPA risk assessment.

Abstract
A model of thyroidectomized sheep intravenously supplemented with thyroid hormone (TH) was developed to mimic endogenous TH exposure and to analyze the impact on plasma TH homeostasis of xenobiotic interference with TH binding to plasma proteins. TH was displaced from plasma protein binding sites by using phenylbutazone (PBZ) as a test xenobiotic, to compare the effect of PBZ on steady state free and total plasma TH concentrations between the in vivo situation and an in vitro system. While PBZ increased free TH in vitro, PBZ administration in vivo produced an immediate reduction in both total and free plasma TH. The decrease in the total TH was consistent with a PBZ-induced displacement of TH from its plasma binding proteins, leading to an increase in total TH plasma clearance. However, this reduction in total TH was not expected to be accompanied by a parallel decrease in free plasma TH since the free TH is determined by the clearance of the free plasma TH. This suggested that PBZ may also have interfered with the clearance mechanisms of free TH. It can be concluded that our thyroidectomized sheep model enables a dual action of a xenobiotic on plasma TH to be distinguished, namely a displacement of TH from its binding proteins leading to a decrease in the total plasma concentration, which is not relevant to thyroid function versus an interference with the intrinsic TH clearance leading to a change in the free plasma TH, which has a major impact in terms of thyroid disruption.

Abstract
The model of the prepubertal ovariectomized lamb was selected as a sensitive model to characterize the estrogenic effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on the hypothalamo-pituitary axis (HPA). In a first experiment, the disrupting effect of BPA and of 17-beta estradiol (E2), administered as a constant 54-h iv infusion, on luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility was quantified. The results showed that the inhibitory effect of BPA and E2 on LH secretion appeared to follow a dual mechanism: a rapid (about 1 h) suppressive effect for high exposure and an effect observed with a period of latency (about 48 h) probably of genomic origin and observed for lower E2 and BPA levels. For E2, the disrupting dose was 0.14 microg/(kg x d), corresponding to a plasma concentration of 2 pg/ml; for BPA, the lowest observed disrupting plasma concentration was 38 ng/ml, a value only 10-fold higher than the human plasma concentration routinely reported in biomonitoring surveys. In a second experiment, we showed that after 7 weeks of BPA treatment, there was no BPA accumulation and no evidence of an alteration in the HPA responsiveness to BPA. Finally, our results showed that directly considering plasma concentrations, the ratio of the BPA disrupting plasma concentration in lambs over the observed human plasma concentration is only 10, whereas if the dose is considered, it could be concluded that the BPA disrupting dose in lamb is conservatively 50-fold higher than the currently recommended Tolerable Daily Intake of 50 microg/(kg x d).

Abstract
GH secretion is increased in scrapie-diseased sheep. Although the role of the somatotropic axis as a neurotrophic and neuroprotective factor is well documented, no studies have been carried out on the mechanisms and functional significance of somatotropic perturbation in the pathophysiology of prion-associated neurodegenerative disease. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that increased GH secretion observed in a natural animal prion disease, scrapie, might reflect a general lack of action of IGF-1 and, more particularly, a suppressed IGF-1 negative feedback. The effect of human recombinant IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) on spontaneous and GHRH-induced secretions was studied in so-called "scrapie-resistant" and "scrapie sensitive" rams in vivo and in vitro on pituitary dissociated cells from both groups. The effect of rhIGF-1 infusion on spontaneous and GHRH-induced GH secretions was evaluated during the preclinical and clinical stages of the disease in vivo. Our results indicated that rhIGF-1 suppressed spontaneous GH secretion but not GHRH-induced secretion in vivo. RhIGF-1 had no effect on spontaneous and GHRH-induced GH secretion from dissociated pituitary cells. Clinical scrapie was associated with a significantly greater rhIGF-1-induced inhibition of GH spontaneous secretion (mean+/-S.E.M. inhibition of GH secretion: 31+/-8% vs. 45+/-4% in control and scrapie-affected rams, respectively). It can be concluded that the increase in GH secretion in scrapie-affected animals does not reflect a global lack of action of IGF-1. Further investigations are required to determine if other IGF-1 effects and more particularly neuroprotective mechanisms are altered in prion-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
