A toxicokinetic study to elucidate 3‐hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene atypical urinary excretion profile following intravenous injection of benzo(a)pyrene in rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The toxicokinetics of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and 3-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene (3-OHBaP) were assessed in 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats injected intravenously with 40 micromol kg(1) of BaP to explain the reported atypical urinary excretion profile of 3-OHBaP. Blood, liver, kidney, lung, adipose tissue, skin, urine and feces were collected at t = 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 33, 48, 72 h post-dosing. BaP and 3-OHBaP were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography/fluorescence. A biexponential elimination of BaP was observed in blood, liver, skin and kidney (t((1/2)) of 4.2-6.1 h and 12.3-14.9 h for initial and terminal phases, respectively), while a monoexponential elimination was found in adipose tissue and lung (t((1/2)) of 31.2 and 31.5 h, respectively). A biexponential elimination of 3-OHBaP was apparent in blood, liver and skin (t((1/2)) of 7.3-11.7 h and 15.6-17.8 h for initial and terminal phases, respectively), contrary to adipose tissue, lung and kidney. In adipose tissue and lung, a monophasic elimination of 3-OHBaP was observed (t((1/2)) of 27.0 h and 24.1 h, respectively). In kidney, 3-OHBaP kinetics showed a distinct pattern with an initial buildup during the first 8 h post-dosing followed by a gradual elimination (t((1/2)) of 15.6 h). In the 72-h post-treatment, 0.21 +/- 0.09% (mean +/- SD) of dose was excreted as 3-OHBaP in urine and 12.9 +/- 1.0% in feces while total BaP in feces represented 0.40 +/- 0.16% of dose. This study allowed the identification of the kidney as a retention compartment governing 3-OHBaP atypical urinary excretion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
