In this study, the effect of dietary antioxidants on the excretion of PFOA was investigated in mice. It was found that BHT increased urinary excretion of PFOA while TP decreased it. Mechanistic investigation revealed that BHT enhanced renal reabsorption of PFOA through increased expression of Oatp1a1, and αT increased fecal excretion of PFOA by reducing intestinal permeability.
Dietary antioxidants, including 2,6-di-tert-butyl-hydroxytoluene (BHT), & alpha;-tocopherol (& alpha;T) and tea polyphenol (TP), have been widely used in food. However, no data about the effect of food antioxidants on PFOA excretion were available. In this study, excretion of PFOA toward mice (four mice in each group) under the influence of coingested food antioxidants (i.e., BHT, & alpha;T, and TP) were investigated, and mechanism involved in excretion of PFOA, including RNA expression of uptake and efflux transporters in kidneys and liver involved in PFOA transport and intestinal permeability were also investigated. Chronic exposure to BHT (1.56 mg/kg) increased urinary PFOA excretion from 1795 & PLUSMN; 340 ng/mL (control) to 3340 & PLUSMN; 29.9 ng/mL (BHT treatment). TP treatment (12.5 mg/kg) decreased urinary excretion of PFOA, i.e., with a decrease percentage of 70% compared to the control. Organic anion transporting polypeptides (Oatps) act as uptake transporter mediate renal elimination or reabsorption of PFOA in the kidney. The decrease in urinary excretion of PFOA under TP treatment was associated with significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced expression of Oatp1a1 in the kidney (1.78 & PLUSMN; 0.58 vs 1.00 & PLUSMN; 0.18 in control), which facilitated renal reabsorption of PFOA and in turn decreased urinary excretion of PFOA. & alpha;T treatment (12.5 mg/kg) increased fecal PFOA excretion with a value of 228 & PLUSMN; 95.8 ng/g vs control (96.8 & PLUSMN; 22.7 ng/g). Mechanistic investigation revealed that & alpha;T treatment reduced intestinal permeability, resulting in increased fecal PFOA excretion.
