Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
1. ABSORPTION during inhalation exposure (from Tab.
7/8):
At 50 ppm for 6 h, steady states are reached after 2 h with
respect to constancy of blood, lung, liver and
adipose-tissue levels.
At 250 ppm for 6 h, steady states are reached after >3 h
with respect to blood and tissue levels.
The 5-fold increase in the exposure concentration led to a
multifold enhancement of DCE in tissues:
At 250 ppm as compared to respective levels at 50 ppm (Fig.
3 A,B, Tab. 6):
- in blood about 23x
- in liver about 20x
- in lung about 35x
- in adipose about 27x.
This indicates limitation of elimination mechanisms
(saturation) at the high exposure level, although the
elimination rate remains extremely high and is only slowed
down at a factor of about 2 (see below).
-----------------------------------
2. Blood and liver ELIMINATION kinetics
After single oral administration (gavage, olive oil, 1.5
ml/kg) (data from Tab. 6 and Fig. 2/3):
Blood Liver
Peak level t/2 Peak level t/2
[ug/ml] [min] [ug/g] [min]
=======================================================
25 mg/kg 13.3 25 30 19
50 mg/kg 32 44 55 42
150 mg/kg 67 57 92 65
=======================================================
After single 6-h inhalation (data from Tab. 6 and Fig. 2/3):
Blood Liver
Peak level t/2 Peak level t/2
[ug/ml] [min] [ug/g] [min]
========================================================
50 ppm 1.4 13 1.0 11
250 ppm 31 22 22 18
=======================================================
3. TISSUE CONCENTRATIONs
- Adipose tissue levels:
Highest concentrations are found in fat tissue, although
also the elimination rate (second kinetic phase) was high
throughout and in the range of the other tissues documented,
T/2 generally <= 30 min except for 250 mg/kg (oral) with
a T/2 of about 60 min.
The peak adipose levels for 150 mg/kg (oral) was similar to
that found after 250 ppm (inh.) at about 260 ug/g each.
At 25 mg/kg (oral), this level was 11x higher than after
exposure to 50 ppm (110 vs. 10 ug/g).
- Lung tissue levels:
After oral administration of the selected doses, no
exponential increase of DCE was seen in the lung (like in
the other tissues), in contrast to inhalation exposure (like
in the other tissues) [see above: absorption]. At a dose 25
mg/kg, the lung level was at about 7.5x higher than that
seen after 50 ppm (inhal.). After 50 or 150 mg/kg, it became
relatively lower than in the lung from animals exposed to
250 ppm (approx. 0.7 to 0.5x).
- Liver levels:
All liver levels after oral dosing were significantly higher
than those found after inhalation even to the highest
concentration (see Table above).
