ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to complete research on the porphyrogenic effect of hexabrombenzene (HBB) and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A).
Experiments were performed on female Wistar rats. The examined compounds were administered in sunflower oil intragastrically in 3 doses. The determination of porphyrins in tissues was carried out by means of high-performance liquid chromatography.
Repeated HBB administration caused a 3-8 times increase of total concentration of high carboxylated porphyrins (octa- and heptacarboxyporphyrins). The concentrations of these porphyrins were significantly lower in the liver of rats exposed to TBBP-A. however, in the kidneys significant alterations in porphyrins concentrations concerned only HBB.
