Bisphenol A Accumulation in the Freshwater Clam Pisidium amnicum at Low Temperatures

Abstract: Toxicokinetics of (14)C-labeled bisphenol A (BPA) was studied in the small freshwater clam Pisidium amnicum at four ecologically relevant low temperatures (2, 6, 8, and 12 degrees C). The uptake clearance (k(u)) of BPA increased from 1.49 to 6.55 ml x g(-1) x h(-1) as temperature increased from 2 to 8 degrees C but decreased slightly again at the highest temperature. The depuration of BPA was very slow and statistically insignificant at 2 degrees C, but the depuration rate ( k(d)) increased linearly as tempera… Show more

“…In adult organisms, BPA is known to affect components involved in the maintenance of the redox status by downregulating the expression of antioxidant genes. [40] The results support the view that UV based advanced oxidation processes can effectively convert BPA into inactive byproducts. UV treatment of BPA resulted in a reduction in toxicity by reducing mortality of zebrafish embryos.…”

“…In addition, net elimination of bisphenol A may be more efficient at high temperatures, especially within the optimal temperature regime, as has been shown in freshwater clam [11], but not above the optimal temperature regime in developing salmon embryos [12].

“…BPA also stimulated the activity of the phase II enzyme GST, this suggesting that some metabolism of BPA may occur by this route in the hepatopancreas. BPA bioaccumulation and clearance have been demonstrated in bivalves, with shorter half-lives at higher temperatures (Heinonen et al, 2002).…”
