title: The effect of olestra on the absorption, excretion and storage of 2,2',5,5' tetrachlorobiphenyl; 3,3',4,4' tetrachlorobiphenyl; and perfluorooctanoic acid.
abstract: Mice were gavaged with either (14)C-labeled 2,2'5,5' tetrachlorobiphenyl; 3,3',4,4' tetrachlorobiphenyl; or perfluorooctanoic acid. Absorption of these compounds was determined by assay of feces collected for 48 h after the gavage. Part of the animals received test diets containing olestra during this 48-hour period to determine its effect on absorption of the compounds. Mice that received the diet without olestra during this period were divided into groups that either continued the diet without olestra or changed to a diet containing olestra. These diets were continued for 7 days, and a second 48-hour fecal collection was made to measure the effect of olestra on enterohepatic circulation of the compounds and their metabolites. The animals were sacrificed, and blood, fat, and liver concentrations of (14)C were measured. Olestra decreased the absorption of 2,2',5,5' tetrachlorobiphenyl. It also reduced tissue and blood concentrations of this compound. Olestra also decreased the absorption of 3,3',4,4' tetrachlorobiphenyl, but it did not alter enterohepatic circulation or tissue concentrations. Olestra significantly increased the excretion of perfluorooctanoic acid in the second 48-hour collection, suggesting an effect on enterohepatic circulation. It did not, however, alter tissue concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid. These data are consistent with previously observed effects of olestra on the absorption and storage of lipophilic compounds.
