However, ingestion of methyltestosterone residue is potentially hazardous to consumers, and knowledge of its disposition in market-size rainbow trout was sought to determine a safe depletion period. In addition to characterization of the pharmacokinetics and total residue depletion, the following precursor studies were undertaken: analytical method development, characterization of analyte stability in stored fluid and tissue samples, formulation of a methyltestosterone-medicated diet, and pilot studies.</p><p>Methods for extraction and gradient HPLC quantification were developed and validated for methyltestosterone and two of its metabolites, and used in conjunction with a reverse isotope dilution technique. At −20°C methyltestosterone and its metabolites were stable for 2 weeks in liver and bile samples, and for at least 4 weeks in kidney, plasma, muscle, and skin.</p><p>Plasma concentration-time profiles after intraarterial dosage (2 and 20 mg/kg) declined biexponentially with a distribution half-life of 4.13 and 8.23 hr and a terminal elimination half-life of 54.9 and 58.6 hr for the 2 and 20 mg/kg doses, respectively. Two-compartment model parameter estimates for the 2 and 20 mg/kg doses were: area under the curve (11.2 ± 3.89 and 82.3 ± 33.0 μmol <sup>∗</sup> hr/L), total body clearance (0.640 ± 0.187 and 0.903 ± 0.317 L/hr/kg), volume of the central compartment (3.83 ± 0.906 and 13.9 ± 6.30 L/kg), steady state volume of distribution (6.06 ± 1.61 and 26.8 ± 15.5 L/kg), and mean residence time (9.57 ± 0.727 and 22.7 ± 12.6 hr), respectively. After a 30 mg/kg oral dose, the average peak plasma concentration was 3.03 ± 0.345 μmol/L, at 8.80 ± 3.35 hr, and the area under the curve was 90.2 ± 44.3 μmol<sup>∗</sup>hr/L. The oral bioavailability was 73% and 68%, using model-independent and model-dependent methods, respectively.</p><p>The tissue distribution and metabolite profiles were determined during and after dietary exposure of fish to <sup>14</sup>C-methyltestosterone (30 mg/kg), and autoradiographs of sagittal sections were prepared. At 4 days (steady state), the concentrations of total radioactivity (ppm equivalents) were highest in bile (3,520 ± 1,220), followed in descending order by liver (26.9 ± 18.2), kidney (8.76 ± 3.01), plasma (4.43 ± 0.726), skin (2.52 ± 0.481), and muscle (2.18 ± 0.181). A biphasic elimination profile was observed, and at 21 days the total concentration of radioactivity was ≤ 0.1 ppm in the edible tissues.</p><p>A suitable depletion period was devised based upon a consumption rate of 83.0 kg of methyltestosterone-treated trout per year, and no-observable effect levels (NOEL) for hepatotoxicity and fetotoxicity of 2.5 and 0.4 mg/day, respectively. An acceptable daily intake (ADI) for methyltestosterone was then derived by applying a safety factor of 100 to the NOEL. Edible tissues of methyltestosterone-treated trout were found to deplete to acceptable levels of 0.11 and 0.018 mg/g for hepatotoxicity and fetotoxicity, respectively, by 38 days.</p> 1999 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1300986822 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1300986822 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
