Fasting serum concentrations of conjugated bile acids were investigated in 23 men who had been exposed to styrene and compared with the concentrations in 60 non-exposed individuals. Eleven of the exposed subjects had raised concentrations of either cholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid or both. There were no indications of alcohol abuse, drug intake, or undiagnosed liver disease. It is possible, therefore, that the raised bile acid concentrations were due to exposure to styrene. This would support the concept that occupational exposure to styrene may affect the liver and point to the possibility that raised serum bile acid concentrations might be a sensitive and early indicator of hepatic injury in individuals exposed to organic solvents.
对23名接触过苯乙烯的男性的空腹血清结合胆汁酸浓度进行了研究,并与60名未接触者的浓度进行了比较。11名接触者的胆酸或鹅去氧胆酸或两者的浓度升高。没有酗酒、药物摄入或未确诊肝病的迹象。因此,胆汁酸浓度升高可能是由于接触苯乙烯所致。这将支持职业性接触苯乙烯可能影响肝脏的观点,并指出血清胆汁酸浓度升高可能是有机溶剂接触者肝损伤的敏感和早期指标。
