Administration of a single oral dose (10 μg/kg) of tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) caused a 33% decrease in retinyl esters in the livers of male rats, but a 13-fold increase in retinyl esters in the kidney and a 3-fold increase in serum retinol. Liver and kidney microsomal uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity toward all-trans-retinoic acid was increased 3.7- and 2.6-fold, respectively, ten days following exposure to TCDD. Verification of the in vitro formation of [3H]retinoyl β-glucuronide (RG) was by cochromatography with authenic RG on reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), identification of retinoic acid as the hydrolysis product after β-glucuronidase treatment, and the characterization of the all-trans-retinoyl glucuronide by negative fragment mass spectroscopy, fast atom bobardment. We conclude that increased retinoic acid glucuronidation may be a contributing factor to the hepatic depletion of vitamin A and the increased excretion of vitamin A metabolites following TCDD exposure.
