Increased retinoic acid metabolism following 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexabromobiphenyl injection

Abstract: Young male Wistar rats received single i.p. injections of 3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexabromobiphenyl. In rats dosed with 40 mg/kg, food consumption and growth as well as liver retinol and retinyl palmitate concentrations decreased, while serum retinol and liver weight increased within 28 days following the injection. In rats receiving a 20-mg/kg dose, food consumption, growth, liver weight, and serum retinol were not affect, although liver retinol and retinyl palmitate concentrations declined to 23 and 21% of their resp… Show more

“…A minor role for CYP1A enzymes in vitamin A oxidation is possible, but the evidence remains equivocal. CYP1A inducers reportedly stimulated ATRA 4-hydroxylation in some [72,73], but not all studies [74]. In other species different CYPs may contribute to the activity.…”

“…Second, the enzymatic reaction system deduced from these studies is also apparently sensitive to the vitamin A status of the animal, because pretreatment in vivo with vitamin A or RA boosted the system for the metabolism of at-RA to polar metabolites, including 4-hydroxyand 4-oxo-RA (46). Later, various CYP450 isozymes purified from human (47), rat (96), and rabbit (87) liver were shown to have significant RA hydroxylation activity in the presence of NADPH, whereas imidazole-based reagents such as ketoconazole were able to reduce the oxidative metabolism of RA in vitro and increase the half-life of RA in vivo (111, 112). Other studies suggested that several cytochrome P450 members including CYP2C8 (47) and CYP3A (55) exhibit RA hydroxylase activity.…”

“…In a field study on Great Lakes herring gulls (Larus argentatus), liver vitamin A stores were inversely related to the level of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) . Studies with rats have demonstrated that polyhalogenated biphenyl congeners accelerate the conjugation and hydroxylation of retinoic acid in the liver (Spear et al 1988) and bind to transthyretin in rat blood (Brouwer and van den Berg 1986). It is uncertain whether these changes in vitamin A caused by environmental contaminants result in hypo-or hypervitaminosis A or what concomitant physiological effects exist.…”
