Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are bioaccumulative and associated with adverse effects in both wildlife and humans. The occurrence of 33 PFASs was assessed in the plasma, liver, blubber, and brain of 18 Baikal seals (Phoca sibirica) (16 pups and 2 adult females) from Lake Baikal, Russia (in 2011). Of the 33 congeners analysed for: perfluorooctanosulfonic acid (PFOS), 7 long chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (C-C PFCAs) and 1 branched PFCA (perfluoro-3,7-dimethyloctanoic acid; P37DMOA) were most frequently detected.

Homeobox (Hox) genes encode homeodomain proteins, which play important roles in the development and morphological diversification of organisms including plants and animals. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are well recognized industrial pollutants and universally detected in human and wildlife, interfere with animal development. In addition, PFCs produce a number of hepatic adverse effects, such as hepatomegaly and dyslipidemia.

Objective: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are lipophilic environmental toxicants that accumulate in adipose tissue. Weight loss leads to mobilization and increased redistribution of these toxicants. Many are obesogens and endocrine disruptors.

: Perfluoro-octanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) are two toxic perfluorochemicals (PFCs) commonly used as surfactants. PFCs are difficult to be eliminated from the body. We investigated the influence of different dialysis membranes on the concentrations of PFCs in patients under hemodialysis.

Perfluorochemicals produce hepatotoxic effects via activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) nuclear receptors in animals. Bile formation is one major liver function. But it remains unknown whether perfluorochemicals alter metabolism of bile acids (BAs) in liver.
