Benzo[a]Pyrene Ultralow Dose-Response Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics for [14C]-benzo[a]pyrene ([14C]-BaP) and metabolites in plasma and urine over 48 hours following 4 oral doses of 25, 50, 10 and 250 ng (2.7-27 nCi).

Detailed Description
The pharmacokinetics for [14C]-BaP and metabolites will be assessed by UHLPC-Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) in plasma and urine collected over 48 hours following oral doses of 25, 50, 100 or 250 ng (2.7-27 nCi). Metabolite profiles and kinetics of elimination over this dose range are predicted to be consistent with a BaP physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). A non-smoker, not exposed occupationally, receives 270-700 ng of BaP daily; about 95% dietary. The WHO has set an estimated safe daily lifetime (70 year/70 Kg individual, cancer endpoint) exposure to BaP of 42-350 ng. This protocol represents de minimus risk.
