title: Possible role of rat fatty acid-binding proteins in the intestine as carriers of phenol and phthalate derivatives.
abstract: Fatty acid-binding proteins of hepatic and intestinal type and gastrotropin-like protein (GTLP) were purified from rat intestinal cytosol by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose, and hydroxylapatite chromatographies. In addition to fatty acids, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), phthalate dibutyl, and di(2-ethylhexyl) esters (DBP and DEHP) were identified by gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry as endogenous ligands from the extract of either fatty acid-binding protein superfamily. These protein families in the intestine may have an important role as carriers in the initial step of arresting these exogenous pollutants.
