Levels of butadiene monoepoxide (BDO) and butadiene diepoxide (BDO2) were compared in tissues of male Sprague-Dawley rats and male B6C3F1 mice and in tissues of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats following inhalation exposures to 62.5 ppm 1,3-butadiene (BD). In male rats, BDO2 levels were highest in blood and were present at a concentration of only 5 +/- 1 pmol/g. Following a 6-h exposure, the concentration of BDO2 in the blood, femurs, lung and fat of female rats was 3 to 7-fold that of male rats. Levels of BDO were similar in tissues of female and male rats. Generally, levels of BDO were approximately 3 to 8-fold greater in mouse tissues as compared with rat tissues following 4-h exposures to BD. In blood, 204 +/- 15 pmol/g BDO2 was detected in male mice, while in rats, blood BDO2 levels were 5 +/- 1 pmol/g. This study shows marked species differences in tissue levels of BD epoxides, particularly BDO2, in rats and mice, and is the first to show gender differences in BD metabolism.
在雄性斯普拉格-道利大鼠和雄性B6C3F1小鼠的组织中,以及在雄性和雌性斯普拉格-道利大鼠吸入62.5 ppm 1,3 - 丁二烯(BD)后的组织中,比较了丁二烯单环氧化物(BDO)和丁二烯二环氧化物(BDO2)的水平。在雄性大鼠中,BDO2水平在血液中最高,其浓度仅为5±1 pmol/g。暴露6小时后,雌性大鼠血液、股骨、肺和脂肪中BDO2的浓度是雄性大鼠的3至7倍。雌性和雄性大鼠组织中的BDO水平相似。一般来说,在暴露于BD 4小时后,小鼠组织中BDO的水平比大鼠组织高约3至8倍。在血液中,雄性小鼠检测到204±15 pmol/g的BDO2,而在大鼠中,血液BDO2水平为5±1 pmol/g。这项研究表明,大鼠和小鼠组织中BD环氧化物水平,特别是BDO2,存在明显的物种差异,并且首次表明BD代谢存在性别差异。
