The t1/2, V, and CL were 4.65 ± 0.24 h, 171.37 ± 11.19 mL/kg, and 25.54 ± 1.36 mL/h, respectively. For the PFOS study, the pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated after a single oral and IV administration of 2 mg PFOS/kg body weight and followed up for 70 days. The PFOS data were well fitted with two-compartment model. The Cmax and AUC0-∞ of PFOS after the oral administration were 6.71 ± 0.31 µg/mL and 6547.06 ± 507.93 µg·h/mL, respectively. The t1/2, V, and CL/F were 634.98 ± 68.97 h, 279.85 ± 17.34 mL/kg, and 0.31 ± 0.02 mL/h, respectively. In the case of IV administration of PFOS to the female rats, the AUC0-∞ was 5195.18 ± 217.29 …show more content…
In addition, a simple and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS in rat plasma and tissues. We believe that the present study could be used to develop physiologically-based pharmacokinetics of perfluorinated
