    Notes: Abstract Dimethylphthalate (DMP), dibutylphthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) were given i.p. (3.8 mM/kg) to Sprague Dawley rats for 5 days. DBP increased significantly the liver concentration of cytochrome P-450, but decreased the lung concentration by about 40%. DBP decreased the lung concentration of cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome-c-reductase activity by about 30%. Only minor effects were seen after treatment with DMP and DEHP. The direction of B(a)P metabolism was changed and the formation of 2- and 3-hexanol metabolites were increased in liver microsomes after DBP treatment. All phthalate esters decreased the lung metabolism of B(a)P. The cytochrome P-450 enzyme system in the lung was ten times more effective than that in the liver as far as metabolism of n-hexane was concerned. Only minor effects were observed in serum enzyme activities, but a significant decrease in the serum level of albumin was observed after treatment with DBP. No relationship was found between the carbon chain length of the investigated chemicals and effects on microsomal enzymatic activities.

    Notes: Abstract Male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to dibutylphthalate (DBP) by inhalation with concentrations of 0.5, 2.5, and 7.0 ppm in the air for 5 days. The concentrations were considered relevant to human exposure. No quantitative changes were observed in liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 related enzymes, but significant increase was observed in the liver microsomal metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene and n-hexane, in the 2.5 ppm and 0.5 ppm groups, respectively. Inhaled DBF decreased in a dose-dependent way the lung microsomal concentration of cytochrome P-450 by as much as 63%, which was reflected in a significant reduction of the microsomal metabolism of n-hexane and benzo(a)pyrene in the 7.0 ppm group. It is concluded that DBP in doses relevant to human air exposure influences the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system in both liver and lung, with lung as the main target organ. The observed effects in lung microsomes were similar to those earlier reported after IP administration of high doses of DBP.
