Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our survey on the serum concentration of OH-PBDEs in Japanese (n=60) resulted in higher concentration of naturally produced 6-OH-BDE47, which was detected at twenties times higher levels than BDE-47. The profiles of OH-PBDEs in dry seafood (Hijiki) were coincident with those in human serum. OH-PBDEs were selectively retained in serum, whereas MeO-PBDEs were present in breast milk. The in vivo and vitro metabolism study of MeO-PBDEs resulted in the O-demethylation in the liver. The antioxidant activities (MIC) of most hydroxylated compounds were higher than that of trolox standard, whereas the activities of methoxylated ones were reduced. The antibacterial activities of these halogenated biphenols were strong against Gram-positive straining, whereas the methylated ones were not. Collectively, Japanese are exposed to naturally produced OH/MeO-PBDEs via diet, of which MeO-PBDEs are demethylated to bioactive OH-PBDEs.
