SUMMARY
The purpose o f this study was to evaluate the potential o f ammonium perfluorooctanoate [APFO (linear)] to suppress the primary humoral immune response following exposure via oral gavage for up to 28 consecutive days. Groups o f 10 male rats each were administered the test substance at daily levels o f 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg. The group designated 30/0 mg/kg was included to assess potential reversibility/recovery and was therefore administered the test substance for 22 consecutive days followed by 6 consecutive days of vehicle (water) administration. Body weights, food consumption measurements, and clinical observations were recorded during the in-life period. Prior to sacrifice, the immune system was stimulated by injecting sheep red blood cells (SRBC) on test day 22 and blood samples were collected from each rat on test day 29. The serum samples were assayed for their concentration o f SRBCspecific IgM antibodies to provide a quantitative assessment o f humoral immune response. Serum from animals dosed with cyclophosphamide, a positive control immunosuppressive agent, were analyzed concurrently to provide confirmation that the assay performance was acceptable for detection o f immunosuppression. Clinical pathology data were collected at day 29 to assess effects on hematology and clinical chemistry. At sacrifice, each animal was examined grossly and selected organs were weighed (brain, spleen, and thymus); selected tissues (as outlined in the methods section) were retained and examined histologically. Thymus and spleen cells were manually counted from single-cell suspensions prepared from the collected tissue.
Samples o f the dosing formulations were chemically analyzed and the results indicated that the test substance was at the targeted concentrations, homogeneously mixed, and stable under the conditions of the study.
Test substance-related toxicity was observed during the in-life portion o f the study at 1 mg/kg and higher. Adverse reductions in body weights, weight changes, food consumption, and food efficiency occurred at 10 mg/kg and higher; at 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, these reductions were accompanied by low incidences o f clinical observations indicative of toxicity. Effects on body weight and food consumption parameters were detected at 1 mg/kg, but these reductions were not considered adverse. There were no test substance-related effects observed at 0.3 mg/kg during the in-life portion o f the study.
Rats dosed with >0.3 mg/kg had decreased serum total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol, and decreased triglycerides. Rats dosed with >1 mg/kg had increased microscopic red cell morphologic changes and hemolyzed serum. Rats dosed with >10 mg/kg had decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean cell volumes, and mean cell hemoglobin concentrations; increased reticulocyte counts and red cell distribution width, increased total white blood cell, neutrophil, monocyte, and LUC counts; increased serum albumin and decreased serum globulin concentrations; and increased serum corticosterone concentrations. Rats in the 30/0 mg/kg group had more pronounced red cell mass effects and red cell morphologic changes compared to those dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Parameters with complete recovery in rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg were serum total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol, globulin, and corticosterone concentrations.

There was a test substance-related decrease in final body weights and increase in liver weights. Mean final body weights were decreased at dose levels >10 mg/kg of the test substance. Mean liver weight parameters were increased at dose levels >0.3 mg/kg. At the terminal sacrifice, test substance-related gross observations were limited to discoloration of the liver in a few rats at doses >10 mg/kg. Microscopic examination o f the liver demonstrated minimal to mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg and moderate hepatocellular hypertrophy at >10 mg/kg. Microscopic examination of lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased hematopoiesis in the spleen o f rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg.
No test substance-related evidence of immunosuppression was observed in male rats at any concentration tested; the IgM titers were generally comparable across all groups.
No significant changes in total spleen cell or thymocyte number compared to control rats were noted in any animals treated with any dose o f APFO.
Under the conditions o f this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for APFO for systemic toxicity in male rats was less than 0.3 mg/kg, whereas the NOAEL for immunotoxicity was 30 mg/kg.

INTRODUCTION
The primary objective o f this study was to evaluate the potential o f ammonium perfluorooctanoate [APFO (linear)] to suppress the primary humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) when administered by oral gavage to male rats for at least 28 days. Additional endpoints o f toxicity were also evaluated. The oral route o f administration was selected because it is a potential route of human exposure.
Ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO; FC-143, Cg; C7F15COO N H /; CAS Registry number 3825-26-1) is a surfactant used as a processing aid in the production o f fluoropolymers. Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA; C7F15COO), the dissociation product o f APFO, is not metabolized(1) and has been identified in blood samples from exposed workers and the general population.(2,3,4)
PFOA has been reported to inhibit the ability o f mice to make antibodies to a T-cell dependent antigen.(5) The reported study employed a single 0.02% PFOA in chow (approximately 30 mg/kg) for 16 days. In order to better characterize the immune response following exposure to this material, APFO was administered by oral gavage using a broad range o f doses.
Dosages for this study were selected based on results o f a 14-day oral gavage study in male rats and mice.(6)

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Test Guidelines
The study design complied with the following test guidelines:
U.S. EPA, OPPTS 870.7800: Immunotoxicity, Health Effects Test Guidelines (1998)
B. Test Substance
(Appendix A)
APFO (linear), was supplied by the sponsor as a white to slightly opaque liquid in a 19.5% aqueous solution. The bulk test substance was used within the period o f approved use as defined by the expiration date listed on the Certificate o f Analysis (COA) that is provided in Appendix A. No evidence o f instability, such as a change in color or physical state, was observed.
C. Test System
On October 6, 2005, 66 male Crl:CD(SD) rats, with an assigned birth date o f August 22, 2005, were received from Charles River Laboratories, Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Crl:CD(SD) rat was selected based on consistently acceptable health status and on extensive experience with this strain at Haskell Laboratory. By utilizing the Crl:CD(SD) rat, immunotoxicity studies can be conducted in the same strain that is used for other toxicology studies.

D. Animal Husbandry
DuPont-18317
1. Housing
All animals were housed singly in stainless steel, wire-mesh cages suspended above cage boards.
2. Environmental Conditions
Animal rooms were maintained at a temperature of 18-26C and a relative humidity o f 30-70%. Animal rooms were artificially illuminated (fluorescent light) on an approximate 12-hour light/dark cycle. Excursions outside o f these ranges were of insufficient magnitude and/or duration to have adversely affected the validity o f the study.
3. Feed and Water
All rats were provided tap water ad libitum. All rats were fed PMI Nutrition International, LLC Certified Rodent LabDiet 5002 ad libitum.
4. Animal Health and Environmental Monitoring Program
As specified in the Haskell Laboratory animal health and environmental monitoring program, the following procedures are performed periodically to ensure that contaminant levels are below those that would be expected to impact the scientific integrity o f the study:
Water samples are analyzed for total bacterial counts, and the presence o f coliforms, lead, and other contaminants.
Samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are analyzed to ensure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers.
Certified animal feed is used, guaranteed by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and not to exceed stated maximum concentrations o f key contaminants, including specified heavy metals, aflatoxin, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and organophosphates. The presence o f these contaminants below the maximum concentration stated by the manufacturer would not be expected to impact the integrity o f the study.
The animal health and environmental monitoring program is administered by the attending laboratory animal veterinarian. Evaluation o f these data did not indicate any conditions that affected the validity of the study.
E. Pretest Period
Upon arrival at Haskell Laboratory, all rats were housed in quarantine. The rats were: quarantined for 6 days.

observed with respect to weight gain and any gross signs o f disease or injury.
The rats were released from quarantine by the laboratory animal veterinarian or designee on the bases o f acceptable body weights and clinical signs of all rats.
F. Assignment to Groups
Rats, selected on the bases of adequate body weight gain and freedom from any clinical signs of disease or injury, were distributed by computerized, stratified randomization into study groups as designated in the Study Design, so that there were no statistically significant differences among group body weight means within a sex. The weight variation of selected rats did not exceed 20% o f the mean weight for each sex.
At grouping, each rat was assigned an animal number/cage identification number. The animal number/cage identification number were tattooed on the tail o f each rat and included on the cage label.
At study start (test day 0) the rats were 8 weeks o f age.
G. Dose Formulation Preparation and Administration
The dosing solutions were prepared in NANOpure water. The formulations were adjusted based on the percentage o f APFO in the bulk test substance to achieve the desired concentrations. Dosing formulations were prepared on a daily basis.
Animals were dosed daily at approximately the same time ( 2 hours) by intragastric intubation at a dose volume o f 10 mL/kg body weight for at least 28 consecutive days; individual dose volumes were calculated based on the most recently collected body weight data. Control rats were similarly dosed with NANOpure water at a volume of 10 mL/kg o f body weight. The 30/0 mg/kg group (XI) was dosed with 30 mg/kg o f test substance through test day 22. Following injection o f SRBC on test day 23, group XI was dosed with NANOpure water at a volume o f 10 mL/kg o f body weight until sacrifice.
One rat from group XI (1109) was not dosed on test days 6 through 8 due to a decrease in body weight gain. Once body weight increases were observed for this rat, dosing resumed.
H. Dose Formulation Sampling and Analysis
1. Recovery Sample Analysis
Concurrent with dosing formulation analyses, recovery o f APFO from spiked NANOpure water was tested at the low level (approximately 0.03 mg/mL), the middle levels (approximately 0.1 and 1 mg/mL), and the high level (approximately 3 mg/mL) to confirm the analytical method. A stock solution of APFO was prepared in NANOpure water. For all concentration levels, an appropriate aliquot o f the stock solution was used to make the spiked solution upon further dilution with NANOpure water. These spiked recovery samples were then processed and analyzed in the same manner as the dosing samples at similar concentrations.

2. Dosing Solution Treatment
Each dosing sample (1 mL) was initially diluted with NANOpure water to a nominal concentration of 0.3, 1, 10, and 30 ppm APFO for the 0.03, 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL dosing samples, respectively. The samples were further diluted to a final expected concentration o f 0.03 ppm with NANOpure water for analysis. The 0 mg/mL sample followed the 0.03 mg/mL sample dilutions. Before the final dilution, the internal standard (1, 2-di-13C PFOA) was added to each sample to give an equivalent final concentration o f the internal standard in all dosing samples; the 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL samples were matrix corrected with the initial diluted solution o f the control sample.

4. Calibration and Quantitation
The analytical reference o f APFO (H-22703-376, 100%) was used for quantitation o f this study. A stock solution was prepared in NANOpure water. This stock solution was mixed to ensure that all material was dissolved in solution. Before analysis, appropriate aliquots o f the stock solution were diluted with NANOpure water to make calibration standards that bracketed the target concentration o f the diluted dosing samples after matrix correction with the initial diluted solution of the control sample. Before these aliquots were brought to the final volume, an

appropriate amount o f 1, 2-di-13C PFOA internal standard was added to give an equivalent final concentration o f the internal standard in all standard solutions.
The 369 m/z daughter ion o f PFOA dissociated from APFO measured by LC/MS/MS was used against the 370 m/z daughter ion of 1 ,2-di-13C PFOA internal standard to determine the concentrations o f the dosing samples. Peak area ratios (369 m/z peak versus 370 m/z peak) of these standards were used to construct a calibration curve by least square regression (see Figure 1 for a representative calibration curve). Measured concentrations for dosing solutions were determined by applying the peak area ratios from replicate injections o f each sample to the calibration curve.
Concentration verification o f APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by the mean result of the duplicate analyses for each respective dosing level.
Uniformity of mixing o f APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of variation (C.V. = standard deviation/mean x 100) of the measured concentration in the duplicate analyses o f the concentration verification samples. A coefficient o f variation of less than or equal to 10% is the standard criterion at Haskell Laboratory for acceptable distribution o f the test substance throughout the solution.
Stability o f APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by using the mean result o f the duplicate concentration verification analyses as the baseline for comparing the corresponding stability results.
I. Body Weights
During the test period, all rats were weighed on test days 0, 3, 6, and daily thereafter.
J. Food Consumption andFood Efficiency
During the test period, the amount o f food consumed by each rat over the weighing interval was determined by weighing each feeder at the beginning and end of the interval and subtracting the final weight and the amount o f spillage from the feeder during the interval from the initial weight. From these measurements, mean daily food consumption over the interval was determined. From the food consumption and body weight data, the mean daily food efficiency of test substance was calculated for each animal.
K. Clinical Observations
1. Daily Animal Health Observations
Cage-site examinations to detect moribund or dead rats and abnormal behavior and/or appearance among rats were conducted at least twice daily throughout the study. Abnormal behavior/appearance was recorded by exception.

DuPont-18317
2. General Clinical Observations
An additional cage-site evaluation was conducted approximately 2 hours after dosing to detect acute clinical signs o f systemic toxicity.
3. Detailed Clinical Observations
At every weighing, each rat was individually handled and examined for abnormal behavior and appearance. Detailed clinical observations in a standardized arena were also evaluated on all rats. The detailed clinical observations included (but were not limited to) evaluation o f fur, skin, eyes, mucous membranes, occurrence o f secretions and excretions, autonomic nervous system activity (lacrimation, piloerection, and unusual respiratory pattern), changes in gait, posture, response to handling, presence o f clonic, tonic, stereotypical, or bizarre behavior. Any abnormal clinical signs noted were recorded.
L. Clinical Pathology Evaluation
A clinical pathology evaluation was conducted on all animals approximately 29 days after initiation o f the study. These animals were fasted after 3 p.m. for at least 15 hours. Blood samples for hematology measurements were collected from the orbital sinus o f each animal while the animal was under carbon dioxide anesthesia. Blood samples for clinical chemistry and humoral immune system evaluations were collected at sacrifice from the abdominal vena cava of each animal while the animal was under carbon dioxide anesthesia. Bone marrow smears were prepared at sacrifice from all surviving animals. Bone marrow smears were stained with WrightGiemsa stain, but analysis was not necessary to support experimental findings. Blood smears, stained with new methylene blue, were prepared from each animal undergoing a hematology evaluation, but were not needed for examination. All blood samples were evaluated for quality by visual examination. Results were maintained in the study records and reported only if the sample was analyzed.
1. Hematology
Complete blood counts, including reticulocytes, were determined on a Bayer Advia 120 hematology analyzer or determined from microscopic evaluation o f the blood smear. WrightGiemsa-stained blood smears from all animals were examined microscopically for confirmation of automated results and evaluation o f cellular morphology.
The following parameters were determined:
red blood cell count
red cell distribution width
hemoglobin
absolute reticulocyte count
hematocrit
platelet count
mean corpuscular (cell) volume
white blood cell count
mean corpuscular (cell) hemoglobin
differential white blood cell count
mean corpuscular (cell) hemoglobin concentration microscopic blood smear examination

2. Clinical Chemistry
Routine serum clinical chemistry parameters were determined on an Olympus AU640 clinical chemistry analyzer. Serum corticosterone was measured using a commercial RIA assay (Diagnostic Products Corporation, Los Angeles, CA; Catalog #TKRC1). Corticosterone concentrations were determined according to the manufacturer's recommended procedure (aspirating aqueous contents o f the assay tube rather than decanting). If necessary, the standard curve was extended at the low end of the range by including standards o f 5 and 10 ng/mL.
The following parameters were determined:
cholesterol triglycerides total protein albumin
globulin (calculated) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (calculated) serum corticosterone
M. Humoral Immune Function
On test day 23, animals were injected intravenously in the lateral tail vein with 0.5 mL of 4 x 108 SRBC/mL (Covance, Denver, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.). On test day 29, serum was collected from each rat and frozen (see L.2. Clinical Chemistry).
Humoral immune function was evaluated by examining sera from individual animals for SRBCspecific IgM levels with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).(7) The serum from each animal was assayed as 10 serial, 2-fold dilutions, with 1 replicate per dilution. The optical density (OD) of the contents of the reaction well was measured at the 405 nm wavelength with a MR 5000 Microplate Reader (Dynex Technologies). SRBC-specific serum IgM titer data were analyzed with Revelation Software Version 2.0 (Dynex Technologies). For each serum sample, a semi-log graph o f the data was created and the linear portion o f the curve was identified by using a log-log curve fit. A slope between -0.600 and -1.200 was obtained. The serum dilution expected to produce an OD o f 0.5 was determined by regression analysis. The "titer" o f each animal was defined as the reciprocal o f the serum dilution that had an OD value of 0.5. If no points had an OD value of greater than or equal to 0.5, the reciprocal o f the starting dilution closest to an OD value o f 0.5 was used as the titer.
Sera previously collected from rats injected with SRBC and dosed for 6 days with 20 mg/kg of the known immunosuppressive agent, cyclophosphamide monohydrate, or vehicle were run concurrently with the study samples to demonstrate that the assay functioned properly. For any test samples that needed to be rerun due to a poor curve fit or slope, pooled male or female cyclophosphamide monohydrate or vehicle serum samples were concurrently run. The pooled samples consisted of equal aliquots o f serum taken from either the male or female rats dosed with cyclophosphamide monohydrate or vehicle.
N. Anatomic Pathology Evaluation
After 29 days on study, all rats from each dose group (0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg body weight) were sacrificed and necropsied for evaluation of subchronic toxicity. The order of
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Smdy in Male Rats

sacrifice for scheduled deaths was stratified across groups. Rats were fasted at least 15 hours before their scheduled sacrifice.
All rats survived the duration o f the study and were euthanized by carbon dioxide anesthesia and exsanguination. Gross examinations were performed and final body and organ weights were recorded.
The following tissues were collected from all 60 rats (10/sex/group) on study.
Digestive System liver3
Nervous System brain3,c (3 sections)
Hematopoietic System spleen3 thymus3 popliteal lymph node mesenteric lymph node bone marrowb
Musculoskeletal System femur/knee joint sternum
Other gross observations
a Organs were weighed at necropsy, b Bone marrow was collected with the femur and sternum, c Including cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla/pons
Organ weight ratios (% final body weight, % brain weight) and group mean values for weighed organs were calculated.
All tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Processed tissues were embedded in paraffin, sectioned approximately 5-6 microns thick, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and examined microscopically by a veterinary pathologist. Microscopic findings were graded on a 4-point scale based on the severity or extent o f the change (grade 1 = minimal; grade 2 = mild; grade 3 = moderate; grade 4 = severe).
All tissues collected from control (0 mg/kg) and high-dose (30 and 30/0 mg/kg) rats were processed to slides and evaluated microscopically. In addition, the following organs were examined from intermediate-dose rats in order to determine a no-observed-effect level for test substance-related microscopic findings: liver and spleen.
Gross observations (recorded at necropsy) were examined microscopically for all animals.
O. Total Cell Counts
The following procedures were used for preparation o f spleen and thymus single-cell suspensions for enumeration of total cell counts from each spleen or thymus:
The weight of the halved spleen or thymus (tissue) was documented; the half was placed in a labeled 15 mL centrifuge tube containing 5 mL Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS/H) and put on ice.
-21 -
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Rats
DuPont-18317
The halved tissue/HBSS/H was poured into a small petri dish and cut into small pieces. The tissue/HBSS/H was poured into a Stomacher 80 Lab System bag and placed into the
Stomacher 80 Lab System on "high" setting for 120 seconds (spleen) or 60 seconds (thymus). After the Stomacher 80 Lab System stopped, the cell suspension was pipetted back into the original centrifuge tube, rinsing the bag with 3 mL HBSS/H and adding that to the centrifuge tube. The centrifuge tube was inverted 2 or 3 times and left on ice for approximately 10 minutes to allow debris to settle to the bottom of the tube. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and the volume o f the supernatant was documented. Total cell counts were determined from each tissue by hemacytometer.
P. Electron Microscopy Evaluation
A section o f liver from 2 control rats (105 and 106) and 2 rats from the 30 mg/kg group (905 and 906) was placed in cassettes, in a container o f formalin, and shipped to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc (EPL) and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. As a subcontractor to EPL, the Laboratory for Advanced Electron and Light Optical Methods, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University processed the tissues for electron microscopy and prepared electron photomicrographic images under the direction of Dr. Michael Dykstra. The printed electron photomicrographic images were provided to EPL for evaluation by an ACVP-certified veterinary pathologist who interpreted the images and prepared a final report of the electron microscopic evaluation.
Q. Statistical Analyses
For all statistical analyses, significance was judged at p < 0.05. Comparisons were made o f the dosed groups to the control group (Group I). Comparisons were also made between Group IX and Group XI.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Analytical Evaluation
A. Chromatography
(Figures 1-2)
PFOA dissociated from APFO and 1, 2-di-I3C PFOA eluted together from the HPLC column with a retention time o f approximately 4.5 minutes. The mixture was separated into 2 resolved peaks at 369 m/z and 370 m/z, respectively, by MS/MS detection. Representative LC/MS/MS chromatograms are shown in Figures 2(a - e). Test substance was not detected in the 0 mg/mL samples.
B. Recovery Samples
(Table 1)
Detailed analytical results of recovery samples are summarized in Table 1. The variability o f the analytical method was demonstrated by the coefficients o f variation o f the recovery results at each targeted dosing concentration (approximately 0.03, 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL) over the course of the study. The range o f the measured concentrations of APFO for the 0.03 mg/mL level was 101.7% to 108.3% o f nominal (mean percent recovery = 105.0% 5%, C.V. = 5%). The range o f the measured concentrations o f APFO for the 0.1 mg/mL level was 104.0% to 109.6% of nominal (mean percent recovery = 106.8% 4%, C.V. = 4%). The range o f the measured concentrations o f APFO for the 1 mg/mL level was 102.0% to 105.0% o f nominal (mean percent recovery = 103.5 2%, C.V. = 2%). The range o f the measured concentrations o f APFO for the 3 mg/mL level was 101.7% to 107.0% o f nominal (mean percent recovery = 104.4 4%, C.V. = 4%). Based on these data, the analytical method performed satisfactorily for the concentration range of the dosing samples in the study.

In-Life Measurements
A. Mean Body Weights and Body Weight Gains
(Tables 4-5, Figure 3, Appendix B)
Test substance related adverse reductions in mean body weights and body weight gains were observed at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg. Mean final body weights were 10, 25, and 21% lower than the control group at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, as a result o f reduced body weight gains; overall body weight gains during test days 0 to 28 were 26, 63 and 50% lower for the same respective doses. The magnitude and onset o f the effects on body weight parameters were dose related in that the effects at 30 mg/kg were evident sooner and were more pronounced. There was no appreciable difference in the magnitude o f the reduction between the 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, indicating that the shortened dosing period did not have a significant impact on this endpoint.
At 1 mg/kg, overall body weight gain during test days 0 to 28 was 10% lower, resulting in a 4% reduction in mean final body weight. These slight reductions appear to be test substance related; however, they were not statistically significant nor were they considered to be adverse.
Body weight data for animals dosed at 0.3 mg/kg were generally comparable to control group data.
B. Food Consumption and Food Efficiency
(Tables 6-7, Appendix C)
Test substance related adverse reductions in mean daily food consumption and food efficiency were observed at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg; test substance-related effects on these parameters were also observed at 1 mg/kg but these effects at 1 mg/kg were not considered adverse based on the magnitude o f the reductions.
Mean daily food consumption was 4, 17 and 16% lower than controls at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, during test days 0 to 28.
The combined test substance-related reductions in mean body weight, weight gain, and food consumption resulted in test substance-related reductions in food efficiency. During test days 0 to 28, mean food efficiency was 23, 57 and 42% lower at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg/day.
The effects on food consumption parameters were similar to and consistent with the effects on body weight parameters in that the magnitude and onset o f the effects on food consumption and efficiency were dose related terms o f onset, severity, and duration o f the effects. Additionally, there was no appreciable difference in the magnitude o f the reduction o f the overall mean daily food consumption between the 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, indicating that the shortened dosing period did not have a significant impact on this endpoint.
-25-

Ammonium Peril uorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Rats
DuPont-18317
At 1 and 10 mg/kg, mean daily food consumption and food efficiency was 3 and 7% lower than controls, respectively. These slight reductions appear to be test substance related; however, they were not statistically significant nor were they considered to be adverse.
Food consumption and food efficiency data for animals dosed at 0.3 mg/kg were generally comparable to control group data.
C. Clinical Observations and Mortality
(Tables 8-9, Appendices D-E)
There was no test substance-related mortality at any level tested; all animals survived to the scheduled sacrifice on test day 29.
Test substance related clinical observations were observed at 30 and 30/0 mg/kg and included wet and/or stained fur, absent or decreased feces, not eating, high carriage, and lethargy. These signs were reported for up to 3 animals in these groups and thus, the incidence was not overwhelming. However, the nature o f the signs combined with the effects on body weight and food consumption discussed previously supported that these observations were test substancerelated and adverse. Hair loss was reported in up to 3 animals per group; this unremarkable finding was not considered test substance related since the incidence was not dose-related.
Clinical Pathology Evaluation
A. Hematology
(Table 10, Appendix F)
1. Red Blood Cells
Hemolysis was evident in serum of rats dosed with >1 mg/kg (see Clinical Chemistry section).
Hemoglobin and hematocrit were mildly decreased in rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days (means were 91-92% of the control group mean, respectively; statistically significant), but there were no effects on red blood cell counts. The discordance between red blood cell count and hematocrit was likely due to decreased mean cell volume in rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days (hematocrit is the product of mean cell volume and red blood cell count). Means for mean cell volumes were 97 and 95% o f the control group mean; (statistically significant at 30 mg/kg). Mean cell hemoglobin, which generally closely parallels mean cell volume, was also decreased in these 2 dose groups (means were 95 and 94% of the control group mean, respectively; statistically significant).
A few rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days had increased reticulocytes, although there were no significant changes in mean reticulocyte counts (means were 109 and 112% o f the control group mean). Increased red cell distribution width generally correlated with increased reticulocytes in rats from these groups. Mean red cell distribution widths were 111 and 115%, respectively, o f the control group mean. Microscopically, some o f the rats in these 2 groups had
- 26-
p. 27
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Rats
DuPont-18317
increased anisocytosis (variation in red cell size; also observed in rats dosed with 1 mg/kg), macrocytosis (increased numbers o f larger cells), polychromasia (increased bluish staining o f red blood cells), and hypochromasia (pale staining o f red blood cells). These changes were consistent with minimally increased reticulocytes in some animals.
Effects on red cell mass parameters were present (red blood cell count) or more pronounced (hemoglobin, hematocrit) in the 30/0 mg/kg group o f rats compared to those dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days. On test day 29, mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit ranged from 86-88% o f the respective control group means for these 3 parameters (all statistically significant). Decreased red cell mass parameters on test day 29 could be due to one or more o f the following processes: increased red cell destruction, red cell loss, or increased plasma volume. The mechanism for decreased red cell mass parameters was not evident from in life, clinical pathology, or anatomic pathology data. Therefore, the cause o f the decreased red cell mass was not determined.
Reticulocytes were moderately increased in rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg. Mean reticulocyte count was 197% o f the control group mean. Consistent with the increase in reticulocyte counts, red cell distribution width was increased (mean was 123% o f the control group mean). Microscopically, this group had increased anisocytosis, macrocytosis, polychromasia, hypochromasia, and acanthocytosis (red blood cells with blunt surface projections). All morphologic changes in red cells occurred at greater incidence or at higher severity grades in these rats compared to rats dosed with APFO for 29 days. These red blood cell changes also correlated with histologic evidence o f increased extramedullary hematopoiesis, which was observed in 7 o f ten 30/0 mg/kg rats, but in none o f the 30 mg/kg rats after 29 days o f dosing.
2. White Blood Cells
White blood cell counts were minimally increased, primarily due to increases in lymphocytes, in some rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days (variable statistical significance). Means were 130 and 137% (total white blood cell count), and 133 and 140% (lymphocyte count) o f respective control group means. Individual rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg with higher total white blood cell and lymphocyte counts generally had higher neutrophil, monocyte, and large unstained cell (LUC) counts as well, resulting in mean neutrophil, monocyte and LUC counts that were 114-147% o f the control group means. Due to the normal range and variability o f total and individual white blood cell counts, these changes did not result in statistically different means. LUCs are cells that cannot be identified as one o f the 5 major leukocyte types by the Advia 120 automated hematology analyzer, and normally comprise a small percentage o f the total leukocyte population. The LUC count normally includes mostly lymphocytes and monocytes. Consistent with this observation, in this study, the rats with the highest LUC counts usually had the highest lymphocyte and/or monocyte counts. The changes observed in total and individual white blood cell counts are consistent with inflammation. Histologically, there were no findings observed that correlated with these white blood cell changes.
In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, total white cell and lymphocyte counts were generally similar to their respective control group means, with the exception o f a few rats with higher total white blood cell and lymphocyte counts (rats 1106 and 1107). Monocyte and large unstained cell counts for rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg were similar to those o f rats dosed for 29 days with 10
-27-
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Rats
DuPont-18317
or 30 mg/kg in that the counts o f most rats were similar to controls, but a few rats had higher monocyte and LUC counts. Therefore, there was no recovery.
Mean eosinophil counts were minimally decreased in rats dosed with >0.3 mg/kg for 29 days (not statistically significant). These decreases were the result o f high eosinophil counts in 3 control rats. There was no dose response in changes in eosinophil counts despite the 100-fold difference in dose administered in either terminal or recovery animals. In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, eosinophil counts were similar to groups dosed with >0.3 mg/kg for 29 days. Therefore, the apparent decreases in eosinophil counts after 29 days of dosing at >0.3 mg/kg and in 30/0 mg/kg rats is of uncertain relationship to treatment.
B. Clinical Chemistry
(Table 11, Appendix F)
Hemolysis was evident in serum of rats dosed with >1 mg/kg. Hemolysis is graded as none, trace, small, moderate or large. In this study, all samples had either none, trace, or small hemolysis. The incidence o f serum graded trace to small for hemolysis was 1/10, 0/10, 3/10, 9/10, and 7/10 in rats dosed with 0, 0.3, 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg, respectively. In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, trace to small hemolysis was observed in 6/10 rats, and the severity was similar to that observed after 29 days o f dosing at 30 mg/kg.
Total cholesterol was decreased in rats dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg for 29 days. Means were 64 and 69% o f the control group mean, respectively (statistically significant). Cholesterol concentrations o f rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg, although higher than those dosed with lower doses, were still lower than controls (means were 81 and 84% o f the control group mean, respectively; not statistically significant). The decreases in cholesterol were due to decreases in both HDL and non-HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol was decreased by a similar degree in all groups dosed with the test substance for 29 days; means were 75-79% of the control group mean (variable statistical significance). Non-HDL cholesterol, like total cholesterol, was lower in rats dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg (means were 58 and 63% o f control group mean; statistically significant) than in rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg (means were 85 and 88% of control group mean; statistically significant).
In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations were similar to controls, suggesting recovery for most rats. However, total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations were mildly higher in one recovery rat (1103), and lower in another recovery rat (1107) compared to other animals in the 30/0 mg/kg group.
Triglyceride was decreased in rats dosed with >0.3 mg/kg for 29 days. The dose-response was flat across the doses tested; means were 69, 75, 68, and 66% o f control group means for rats dosed with 0.3, 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg, respectively (variable statistical significance). Triglycerides were still decreased in rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg (mean was 69% of the control group mean), indicating a lack o f recovery for triglyceride concentrations.
Albumin was increased in a few rats dosed with 1 mg/kg, and in most rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. Means were 106, 112, and 115% of the control group mean, respectively (variable statistical significance). In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, albumin was similar to that of
- 28-

p. 29 DuPont-18317
rats dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days (with the exception o f one male, rat 1109, with lower albumin). Mean concentration for rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg was 112% o f the control group mean, indicating a lack of recovery for albumin concentration.
Globulin was decreased in rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. Means were both 89% of the control group mean. In rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, globulin was similar to that o f controls (with the exception of one male, rat 1109, with low globulin), indicating recovery for globulin concentrations.
Serum corticosterone was increased in a few rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Concentrations greater than 300 ng/mL (approximate upper bound for corticosterone concentration in non-stressed rats) were observed in 0/ 10, 0/ 10, 0/ 10, 2/ 10, and 4/10 rats dosed with 0, 0.3, 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg, respectively. The higher corticosterone concentrations in some rats dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg resulted in mean concentrations that were 135 and 196% of controls, respectively. These changes are indicative o f physiological stress. In rats that were dosed with 30/0 mg/kg, serum corticosterone concentrations were generally similar to controls, indicating recovery.
C. Clinical Pathology Conclusions
Rats dosed with >0.3 mg/kg had decreased serum total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol, and decreased triglycerides. Rats dosed with >1 mg/kg had increased microscopic red cell morphologic changes and hemolyzed serum. Rats dosed with >10 mg/kg had decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean cell volumes, and mean cell hemoglobin concentrations; increased reticulocyte counts and red cell distribution width, increased total white blood cell, neutrophil, monocyte, and LUC counts; increased serum albumin and decreased serum globulin concentrations, and increased serum corticosterone concentrations. Rats in the 30/0 mg/kg group had more pronounced red cell mass effects and red cell morphologic changes compared to those dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Parameters with complete recovery in rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg were serum total, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol, globulin, and corticosterone concentrations.
Immunotoxicity
A. Humoral Immune Function
(Tables 12-13, Appendices G-H)
No test substance-related evidence o f immunosuppression was observed in male rats at any concentration tested; the IgM titers were generally comparable across all groups.
For the individual and pooled positive control sera, the primary humoral immune response to SRBC was decreased by 57 and 55%, respectively. Therefore, the SRBC-specific ELISA test system was valid for this study.

wt. = weight; ( ) = number in parenthesis is the number of organs weighed. Underlined values were interpreted to be test-substance related effects, as compared to control values.
* = statistically significant (Dunnett/Tamhane-Dunnett parametric pairwise test), compared to control value. ** = statistically significant (Dunn's non-parametric pairwise test), compared to control value.

1. Final Body Weight
Mean final body weights were decreased 11%, 26%, and 21% in the 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. All decreases were statistically significant. Mean final body weights in the 0.3 and 1 mg/kg dose groups were similar to the control values.

There was a small, statistically insignificant increase in the mean final body weight o f the 30/0 mg/kg dose group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg dose group. This increase suggests partial recovery from the test substance-related final body weight decrease in the 6 recovery days following the injection o f sheep red blood cells.
2. Liver
Mean absolute liver weights were increased 9%, 31%, 63%, 42%, and 23% in the 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. Mean relative (% body weight) liver weights were similarly increased (10%, 35%, 82%, 91%, and 56%, respectively). All increases were statistically significant, except for those in the 0.3 mg/kg dose group and the mean relative liver weight in the 1 mg/kg dose group.
The increased liver weights, at all dose levels, correlated with the microscopic finding of minimal to moderate hepatocellular hypertrophy. It also correlated with the gross observation of liver discoloration in a few rats at doses >10 mg/kg.
3. Other
All other individual and mean organ weight differences were considered to be spurious or secondary to the decrease in final body weights. Mean relative brain weights (% body weight) were increased only at doses (>10 mg/kg) that produced significantly decreased body weights. Similarly, small, statistically insignificant, decreases in mean absolute, and increases in mean relative (% body weight), spleen and thymus weights were interpreted to be secondary to changes in final body weights. The lack o f any gross or microscopic effects in the brain, spleen, and thymus further suggests that these organ weight differences were a function o f body weight and not organ-specific effects.
C. Gross Observations
(Table 15, Appendix J)
At the terminal sacrifice, test substance-relate gross observations were limited to discoloration of the liver in a few rats at doses >10 mg/kg.

The gross liver discoloration observed in the 4 rats given >10 mg/kg of the test compound was considered to be a result o f the microscopic finding o f hepatocellular hypertrophy.
D. Microscopic Findings
(Table 16, Appendix J)
Microscopic examination of the liver demonstrated minimal to mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg and moderate hepatocellular hypertrophy at >10 mg/kg.
Microscopic examination o f lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased hematopoiesis in the spleen o f high-dose recovery rats (30/0 mg/kg).
The thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes and popliteal lymph nodes had no test substance-related effects.

[ ] = Number in brackets is the average grade (grades 1 - 4) when lesion is present (i.e., sum of grades ^ # animals with lesion). Grading scale: 1 = minimal; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe.
( ) = number in parenthesis is the number of organs examined; EMH = Extramedullary hematopoiesis. Underlined values were interpreted to be test-substance related increases, as compared to control values.
* Not dosed with test substance following immunology challenge.
1. Liver
a. Hepatocellular hypertrophy
Panlobular hepatocellular hypertrophy was observed in all but 5 of the rats given the test substance and the incidence and severity were dose related. Hypertrophy was present in 0/10, 5/10, 10/10, 10/10, 10/10, and 10/10 rats given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. The hypertrophy was graded as minimal in the 5 affected rats given 0.3 mg/kg, minimal in 3/10 and mild in 7/10 rats given 1 mg/kg, and moderate in all rats given >10 mg/kg.
The hepatocellular hypertrophy was characterized by an increase in the size o f all hepatocytes due to an increase in cytoplasmic volume. The cytoplasm had a uniformly eosinophilic granular appearance consistent with peroxisome proliferation.
33- 32-
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Rats
DuPont-18317
Hepatocellular hypertrophy correlated with increased mean liver weight parameters at all doses. Although the 30/0 mg/kg group still had moderate hypertrophy (grade 3 o f 4), the decrease in mean liver weights, relative to the 30 mg/kg group suggests that there was some hepatocellular shrinkage and/or loss that was microscopically unapparent.
b. Focal necrosis
Focal necrosis was also observed in several rats given >10 mg/kg o f the test substance. The incidence was mildly dose related. Focal necrosis was present in 0/10, 0/10, 0/10, 1/10, 4/10, and 1/10 rats given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. All were graded minimal. A decrease in the incidence was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
Focal necrosis was characterized by the focal or multifocal coagulative necrosis o f a cluster of hepatocytes. The distribution was usually subcapsular and the pattern was non-zonal. Focal coagulative necrosis o f hepatocytes clusters is a common secondary effect o f hepatocellular hypertrophy and is most likely the result o f secondary focal ischemia.
2. Spleen
a. Increased extramedullary hematopoiesis
An increase in the incidence o f splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) was considered test substance related only in high-dose rats allowed a recovery period (30/0 mg/kg). Minimal to mild increased EMH was observed in 0/10, 0/10, 1/10, 0/10, 0/10, and 7/10 rats given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively.
The increased splenic EMH in the high-dose recovery rats was erythrocytic and correlated with the hematology findings, which included decreased red cell mass parameters and increased circulating reticulocytes (see Clinical Pathology).
3. Other
All other microscopic observations in this study were consistent with normal background lesions in rats o f this age and strain.
E. Anatomic Pathology Conclusions
There were no test substance-related deaths. All 60 rats on study survived until the scheduled sacrifice on test day 29.
Following 28-days o f daily gavage administration o f the test substance, there was a test substance-related decrease in final body weights and increase in liver weights. Mean final body weights were decreased at dose levels >10 mg/kg o f the test substance. Mean liver weight parameters were increased at dose levels >0.3 mg/kg.
At the terminal sacrifice, test substance-related gross observations were limited to discoloration o f the liver in a few rats at doses >10 mg/kg.

Microscopic examination of the liver demonstrated minimal to mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg and moderate hepatocellular hypertrophy at >10 mg/kg.
Microscopic examination o f lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased hematopoiesis in the spleen of rats dosed with 30/0 mg/kg.
The thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes and popliteal lymph nodes had no test substance-related effects.
Total Cell Counts
A. Spleen Cell Number
(Table 17, Appendix K)
No significant changes in total spleen cell number compared to control rats were noted in any animal treated with any dose o f APFO. A 10% increase was observed at 10 mg/kg and a 16% decrease was observed at 30 mg/kg, but neither value was statistically different than vehicle control.
B. Thymus Cell Number
(Table 17, Appendix K)
No significant changes in total thymocyte number compared to control rats were noted in any animals treated with any dose o f APFO. For rats in the 30/0 mg/kg group, an increase in thymocyte number was observed, which was statistically greater than rats who continued to receive 30 mg/kg APFO, but not greater when compared to vehicle control.
CONCLUSIONS
Under the conditions o f this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for APFO for systemic toxicity in male rats was less than 0.3 mg/kg, whereas the NOAEL for immunotoxicity was 30 mg/kg.

NOTES:
When individual animal data are not reported, it may be due to one of the following reasons or other reasons, all of which are explained in the study records: the sample was clotted (CLOT) there was insufficient sample for testing (QNS) a valid result could not be obtained (RNV) the sample was not suitable for testing the animal died prior to sample collection no sample was available for testing (NSR)
Only positive findings were recorded for special observations (e.g., additional cell types) or observations marred other.

INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL PATHOLOGY DATA
KEY TO APPENDIX
LESION GRADING:
Histopathology changes are described according to their morphologic character, distribution and severity. The distribution (extent of tissue involvement) is indicated, where appropriate, by modifiers such as focal, multifocal, diffuse, unilateral, bilateral, etc. A severity score, if appropriate, is also assigned as follows:
MINIMAL:
The amount of change present barely exceeds that which is considered to be within normal limits.
MILD:
In general, the lesion is easily identified but of limited severity. The lesion probably does not produce any functional impairment.
MODERATE:
The lesion is prominent but there is significant potential for increased severity. Limited tissue or organ dysfunction is possible.
SEVERE :
The degree of change is either as complete as considered possible or great enough in intensity or extent to expect significant tissue or organ dysfunction.
COMMENT:
Grades minimal through severe represent progressive involvement/severity along a continuum with minimal lesions being the least severe and severe lesions being the most severe. While the grades refer to the morphologic characteristics of lesions, they also indicate their relative biologic significance.
Gross observations listing multiple masses for a tissue are distinguished with letters (i.e., a, b, c , d, e t c .).

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
PATHOLOGY SUMMARY
The in-life phase of this study was conducted at Haskell Laboratory for Health and Environmental Sciences, E.l. duPontde Nemours and Company, Newark, Delaware. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of ammonium perfluorooctanoate to suppress the primary humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) when administered by oral gavage to male rats for at least 28 days. The table below summarizes the experimental design:

Samples, cut into small cubes, were preserved in formalin and shipped to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc (EPL), Research Triangle Park, NC. The samples were transferred to the Laboratory for Advanced Electron and Light Optical Methods (LAELOM) at the College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC for further processing and examination by transmission electron microscopy.
The samples were washed in buffer, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide in the phosphate buffer, dehydrated in an ethanolic series culminating in acetone, and infiltrated with Spurr epoxide resin. The resulting blocks were trimmed and semithin sections (approximately 0.5 pm thick) were cut, mounted on glass slides, and stained with 1% toluidine blue O in 1% sodium borate prior to being examined with a light microscope. The slides of semithin sections were sent to Experimental Pathology Laboratories for evaluation by the Pathologist, Dr. Henry Wall. When the slides were returned to the LAELOM, areas of interest for ultrathin sectioning were trimmed in the corresponding tissue blocks.
Ultrathin (80-90 nm thick) sections were cut from the selected trimmed blocks and placed on 200 mesh copper grids before being stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. For each sample, two survey photographs (final print magnification 5,600x) were taken. One higher magnification (final print magnification 22,400x) was taken of each sample to show more cellular detail.

TEM #G06-399 (Animal 105, Control, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1894 to 06-1896) Two low magnification images {06-1894 and 06-1895; 5.600X) depict portions of multiple
hepatocytes. A few clear to moderately electron-lucent smooth-contoured lipid droplets are in the cytoplasm of most hepatocytes. The cytoplasm of all hepatocytes contain numerous wellformed mitochondria as the predominant cytoplasmic organelles. The higher magnification image (06-1896; 22.400X) shows greater detail of the hepatocytic mitochondria, lipid droplets, cistemae of rough endoplasmic reticulum, a few electron-dense membrane-bound peroxisomes, and electron dense clusters of cytoplasmic glycogen. No cell injury is apparent.
TEM #G06-400 (Animal 106, Control, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1897 to 06-1899) Both low magnification images (06-1897 and 06-1898; 5,600X) show multiple
hepatocytes that have numerous mitochondria as their predominant cytoplasmic organelles. Aggregates of linearly arrayed rough endoplasmic reticulum are scattered in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. The high magnification image (06-1899; 22.400X) shows greater detail of the several mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a few slightly electron-dense lysosomes. A few of the smaller diameter electron-dense bodies may be peroxisomes, however, their structure is not optically resolved to the extent that their identity as peroxisomes can be confirmed. Irregular profiles of translucent smooth endoplasmic reticulum are interspersed between other organelles in the cytoplasm. A portion of a well formed nucleus is at the lower right of the image. No cell injury is present.
TEM #G06-401 (Animal 905, Group IX/30mg/kg, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1900 to 06-1902) Both low magnification images (06-1900 and 06-1901; 5.600X) depict multiple
hepatocytes with abundant densely arranged cytoplasmic mitochondria. Peroxisomes which appear as uniformly electron-dense bodies are prominent among the mitochondria. A few small clear smooth-contoured vacuoles are in most cells. These vacuoles are considered to be lipid vacuoles that lost their content during tissue processing. A few lysosomes are in some hepatocytes. Most lysosomes contain either lipid droplets or electron-dense residual bodies. In one image (06-1901) a cross section of a blood vessel contains electron-dense erythrocytes and shows the nucleus of an endothelial cell. The higher magnification image (06-1902;

DuPont-18317 22.400X) shows more detail of clear lipid vacuoles, numerous mitochondria, a lipid-laden lysosome and a few electron-dense peroxisomes. The peroxisomes are along the right border of the image and in the upper left quadrant of the image.
TEM #G06-402 (Animal 906, Group IX/30mg/kg, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1903 to 06-1905) The low magnification images (06-1903 and 06-1904; 5.600X) show numerous
mitochondria as the predominant organelles in the cytoplasm of adjacent hepatocytes. Several uniformly electron-dense peroxisomes are scattered in the cells but are somewhat difficult to discern in the low magnification images. The high magnification image (06-1905; 22.400X) shows the detail of several peroxisomes in hepatocytic cytoplasm at the periphery of the endothelium of a blood vessel along the left border of the image. The peroxisomes are generally smaller in diameter than the more numerous mitochondria in the image. The peroxisomes are lined by a single membrane and have relatively uniform electron-dense matrix in this high magnification image.
CONCLUSIONS
Compared to hepatocytes from the two control rats, the hepatocytes from the two rats that received ammonium perfluorooctanoate have more abundant peroxisomes in their cytoplasm.
