Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: liquid diet
Details on exposure:
PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS: dosing solutions of the 14C-labelled compounds at 1% concentration were prepared by dissolving appropriate amounts in liquid diet containing sucrose, milk, solids, vitamins, salts, water and fat as described by Coots (1964) (see Table 1 under "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables").

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 1%
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 6 - 8 g

Details on dosing and sampling:
PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY (Absorption, distribution, excretion)
- Tissues and body fluids sampled: urine, faeces, lymph fluid, respiratory CO2. Lymph fluid was sampled by thoracic duct cannulation (Bollmann et al., 1948).
- Time and frequency of sampling: sampling of lymph fluid, urine, faeces and respiratory CO2 was each performed as a single fraction during the 51 h experimental period and started immediately after administration of the 14-labelled compounds in liquid food via gavage to thoracic-cannulated rats.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
The absorption of polyglycerol-labelled moieties of the polyglycerol esters via the lymphatic system was ≤ 5% in thoracic duct-cannulated rats. However total absorption was > 36% (see Table 2 under “Any other information on results incl. tables”), thus suggesting other pathways of absorption (e.g. via the portal vein). In contrast, a high absorption (≥ 54%) of oleate- or eicosanoate-labelled moieties of polyglycerol esters was found in the lymph of the thoracic duct. About 15-20% and 10% of the 14C from oleate and eicosanoate, respectively, were absorbed by pathways other than the thoracic duct.
Details on distribution in tissues:
Oleate-labelled moieties of polyglycerol esters were recovered in glycerides, phospholipids and sterol esters of the thoracic duct lymph with percentages of ≥ 96, ≥ 2 and ≥ 1%, respectively. Eicosanoate-labelled moieties of polyglycerol esters were incorporated into glycerides, phospholipids and sterol esters at percentages of 94, 5 and 1%, respectively (see Table 3 under “Any other information on results incl. tables”).
