In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a novel minipig strain, the Microminipig (MMPig), as an animal model for studying the pharmacokinetics of a mixture of 10 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). After a single oral dose was given, we found that the blood depuration of PFAAs (blood t(1/2)), which we calculated using first-order elimination curves, ranged from 1.6 to 86.6days. Among the five body compartments analyzed, the liver was the greatest site of accumulation of perfluorooctanesulfonate and longer chain perfluorinated carboxylates such as perfluorodecanoic acid, perfluoroundecanoic acid and perfluorododecanoic acid. We observed an increasing accumulation trend of perfluorinated carboxylates in the organs associated with the fluorinated carbon chain length. The perfluorononanoic acid burden was the highest among the treated compounds 21days after a single exposure, as 29% of the given perfluorononanoic acid dose was accumulated in the tissues. The persistence of PFAAs in edible pig tissues even after 21days post-exposure raises concerns about the safety of swine products. This was the first study to use MMPigs to elucidate the pharmacokinetics of a group of environmental pollutants. We found that MMPigs could be excellent experimental animals for toxicological studies due to their easy handling, cost efficacy for target compounds and ease of waste treatment. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. A single oral dose of a mixture of 10 PFAAs was given to Microminipigs. The blood depuration half-lives of PFAAs ranged from 1.6 to 86.6 days. PFOS and other long-chain carboxyl acids remained in the tissues for a long period. Persistence of PFAAs in edible tissues raises concerns about the safety of swine products. MMPigs can be excellent novel experimental animals for toxicological studies.
