Transfer of 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl across the in situ perfused guinea pig placenta.

Abstract:

:The transplacental crossover of 14C-2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (6-CB) from the maternal circulation to the fetal side of the placenta was examined in intact fetuses and following the in situ perfusion of the guinea pig placenta. Fetal, late pregnant, and nonpregnant female guinea pig lipoprotein profiles and the association of 6-CB with these plasma constituents were also determined in vivo. Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentrations were 10-fold higher in fetal than in maternal plasma, and the great majority of 6-CB which was transferred to intact fetuses became associated with this plasma fraction. 6-CB was found primarily in association with low density lipoproteins (LDL) in nonpregnant animals. In the late pregnant guinea pig, 6-CB became primarily associated with plasma protein in spite of circulating protein concentrations lower than those seen in the nonpregnant state. No differences in the levels of the three plasma lipoprotein classes were observed between pregnant and nonpregnant animals. It was found that an amount of 6-CB similar to that found in intact litter mates crossed the perfused placenta over the same time period. Despite the much higher VLDL concentrations on the fetal side of the placenta and the association of 6-CB with VLDL in intact fetuses, addition of 1,000 mg/dl VLDL to the 5.4% bovine serum albumin perfusion medium failed to influence the magnitude of 6-CB crossover. 6-CB crossover was influenced by protein concentration in the perfusion media in a concentration-dependent fashion. It is hypothesized that 6-CB and free fatty acids traverse the placenta and are retained by the fetus via similar mechanisms.
