TABLE 1.

Effect of PFOA Treatment on the Expression Levels of Liver Drug Metabolic Enzymes Related to Steroid Hormone Metabolism/Excretion in Wild-Type and PPARα Knock Mice

Description of liver drug metabolic enzymes PFOA-treated wild-type mice (fold of change)a PFOA-treated PPARα knockout mice (fold of change)
Cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 −2.5 ± 0.45* No change
Cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily a, polypeptide 2 −3.4 ± 1.14* No change
Catechol-o-methyltransferase −2.1 ± 0.32* No change
HSD17β2 −3.4 ± 0.62* No change
HSD17β4 3.9 ± 1.05* No change
SULT1A1 −7.1 ± 2.14* No change
SULT1E1 −14.4 ± 1.24* No change
Ugt2A1 −2.3 ± 0.78* No change
Ugt2B1 −2.0 ± 0.31 No change

Note. Three-week-old wild-type and PPARα knockout C57Bl/6 mice were treated with vehicle control or PFOA (5 mg/kg) for 4 weeks and sacrificed 24 h after the last treatment. Total RNA was extracted from frozen liver samples and used for the synthesis of first-strand cDNAs that were used for liver drug metabolic enzyme qPCR array analysis as described in the “Materials and Methods” section.
