a Tominaga et al. (2006).<br />
b 1 or 2 animals.<br />
was lowest in ratsochimpanzeesom<strong>on</strong>keys following<br />
exposure through ei<strong>the</strong>r route. In most cases, bisphenol<br />
A was not detected in rat serum following oral administrati<strong>on</strong><br />
of <strong>the</strong> 10 mg/kg bw dose. In all species, higher<br />
bioavailability was observed with s.c. than oral dosing.<br />
In a subsequent report (Tominaga et al., 2006), <strong>the</strong>se<br />
authors noted that ELISA may overestimate bisphenol A<br />
c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s due to n<strong>on</strong>-specific binding. They reported<br />
measurements by LC-MS/MS in animals evaluated<br />
using <strong>the</strong> same study design [possibly <strong>the</strong> same<br />
specimens reported previously]. These results are<br />
summarized in Table 42. The authors proposed that<br />
primates, including humans, may completely glucur<strong>on</strong>idate<br />
orally-administered bisphenol A <strong>on</strong> its first pass<br />
through <strong>the</strong> liver <strong>and</strong> excrete it in <strong>the</strong> urine whereas<br />
bisphenol A remains in <strong>the</strong> rat for a more extended<br />
period due to enterohepatic recirculati<strong>on</strong>. They suggested<br />
that <strong>the</strong> rat may not be a good model for human<br />
bisphenol A kinetics.<br />
2.1.2.3 Metabolism: Informati<strong>on</strong> is arranged in this<br />
secti<strong>on</strong> according to species. In rats, study summaries are<br />
arranged in order of those providing general or routespecific<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> metabolites, specifics <strong>on</strong> organs<br />
or enzyme isoforms involved in metabolism, <strong>and</strong><br />
pregnancy-, sex-, or age-related effects <strong>on</strong> metabolism.<br />
Pottenger et al. (2000) examined <strong>the</strong> effects of dose <strong>and</strong><br />
route <strong>on</strong> toxicokinetics of bisphenol A in rats. Dispositi<strong>on</strong><br />
of bisphenol A <strong>and</strong> its metabolites in urine <strong>and</strong> feces is<br />
described in this secti<strong>on</strong>, while results of <strong>the</strong> toxicokinetics<br />
study are described in Secti<strong>on</strong> 2.1.2.2. Five adult F344<br />
rats/sex/group were dosed with<br />
14 C-bisphenol<br />
A (99.3% radiochemical purity)/n<strong>on</strong>-radiolabeled bisphenol<br />
A (99.7% purity) at doses of 10 or 100 mg/kg bw by<br />
oral gavage or i.p. or s.c. injecti<strong>on</strong>. Excreta were collected<br />
for 7 days. Samples were analyzed by HPLC or HPLC/<br />
electrospray i<strong>on</strong>izati<strong>on</strong>/MS. The percentage of radioactivity<br />
recovered from all groups was 84–98%. Fecal<br />
eliminati<strong>on</strong> represented <strong>the</strong> largest percentage of<br />
Birth Defects Research (Part B) 83:157–395, 2008<br />
199<br />
radioactivity in all exposure groups (52–83%). Eight peaks<br />
were identified in feces, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> largest peak (representing<br />
86–93% of radioactivity) was for unchanged bisphenol A.<br />
Eliminati<strong>on</strong> of radioactivity through urine was B2-fold<br />
higher in females (21–34%) than males (13–16%) in all<br />
dose groups. Fourteen different peaks were identified in<br />
urine. It was estimated that radioactivity in urine was<br />
represented by bisphenol A m<strong>on</strong>oglucur<strong>on</strong>ide (57–87%),<br />
bisphenol A (3–12%), <strong>and</strong> bisphenol A sulfate (2–7%).<br />
Some differences were noted for retenti<strong>on</strong> of radioactivity<br />
following dosing by gavage (0.03–0.26%), i.p. injecti<strong>on</strong><br />
(0.65–0.85%), <strong>and</strong> s.c. injecti<strong>on</strong> (1.03–1.29%).<br />
Metabolites associated with bisphenol A exposure<br />
were examined in a sec<strong>on</strong>d study by Pottenger et al.<br />
(2000). Three rats/sex/dose/route/time point were<br />
dosed with 14 C-bisphenol A/n<strong>on</strong>-radiolabeled bisphenol<br />
A at 10 or 100 mg/kg bw by oral gavage or i.p. or s.c.<br />
injecti<strong>on</strong>. Rats were killed at 2 different time points<br />
following dosing, Tmax, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> time when bisphenol A<br />
c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s were no l<strong>on</strong>ger quantifiable. Times at<br />
which rats were killed were determined by data obtained<br />
during <strong>the</strong> first study. Plasma samples were pooled at<br />
each time period <strong>and</strong> examined by HPLC or HPLC/<br />
electrospray i<strong>on</strong>izati<strong>on</strong>/MS. Qualitative <strong>and</strong> quantitative<br />
differences were observed for parent compound <strong>and</strong><br />
metabolites in plasma following exposure through<br />
different routes. Following oral exposure, bisphenol A<br />
glucur<strong>on</strong>ide was <strong>the</strong> most abundant compound detected<br />
in plasma at both time periods (Cmax <strong>and</strong> time when<br />
parent compound was not quantifiable) <strong>and</strong> represented<br />
68–100% of total radioactivity. Following i.p. or s.c.<br />
exposure, unmetabolized bisphenol A was <strong>the</strong> most<br />
abundant compound at Tmax; levels of radioactivity<br />
represented by unmetabolized bisphenol A were 27–<br />
51% following i.p. exposure <strong>and</strong> 65–76% following s.c.<br />
exposure. Only 2–8% of radioactivity was represented by<br />
bisphenol A following oral exposure. Some compounds<br />
observed following i.p. or s.c. exposure were not
