Association among total serum isomers of perfluorinated chemicals, glucose homeostasis, lipid profiles, serum protein and metabolic syndrome in adults: NHANES, 2013-2014.

In conclusion, serum isomers of PFOA and PFOS were associated with glucose homeostasis, serum protein as well as lipid profiles; they were also indicators of MS. This may suggest that there is a distinct difference in the toxicokinetics of the isomers of PFOA and PFOS. Further clinical and animal studies are warranted to clarify the putative causal relationships between isomers and biochemical alterations. PMID: 28923343 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
