Preliminary toxicokinetic study of BPA in lactating dairy sheep after repeated dietary and subcutaneous administration.

ABSTRACT: Dietary intake is the predominant route of human exposure to bisphenol A and one of the important food commodities is milk. The aim of our study was to preliminarily evaluate the bisphenol A exposure and disposition in sheep milk after repeated dietary and subcutaneous administration of a relatively low dose (100 µg/kg of b. w./day) of bisphenol A to a sheep. On the basis of blood plasma sampling, milk sampling and HPLC analysis, we developed the toxicokinetic model. With the toxicokinetic model we showed that most likely only free bisphenol A passes into the mammary gland and is subsequently conjugated there. The percentage of the dose eliminated with milk was less than 0.1%, regardless of the route of bisphenol A administration. It is proven that the bisphenol A is eliminated through the
