| This model relates to physiologically based toxicokinetics modelling process. The presented PBTK model allows to simulate ingestion exposures to 2,3,7,8-tétra-chloro-p-dioxin (TCDD) for a woman over her whole life. The model computes various measures of internal dose as a function of time. The superposition of a peak exposure to a time-varying background intake can be described. The model equations are solved dynamically (by numerical integration) with the MCSim simulation package to give a good precision both on short-term and long-term scales. The body mass and the volume of the various body tissues change with the age of the simulated individual.

| | |
| ===Purpose===
| |
| | |
| This model relates to physiologically based toxicokinetics modelling process. The presented PBTK model allows to simulate ingestion exposures to 2,3,7,8-tétra-chloro-p-dioxin (TCDD) for a woman over her whole life. TCDD is a persistent chemical found in trace amounts all over the globe. It accumulates in animal fat all along the trophic chain. Human exposure to TCDD is therefore almost unavoidable, even if in trace amounts. TCDD has multiple effects on health.
| |
| | |
| ===Boundaries===
| |
| | |
| It is related to woman exposure through food.
| |
| | |
| ===Input===
| |
| | |
| Input data have to be written directly on the webpage. Data consist in: background rates, for different periods of life, beginning, end and level of peak exposure.
| |
| | |
| ===Output===
| |
| | |
| Output data are the concentrations in different parts of the body (blood, liver, fat, well-perfused tissues and poorly-perfused tissues) as a function of time.

| '''Figure 1 : Toxicokinetic model used to describe TCDD toxicokinetic in the human body (d'après (Van der Molen et al. 1996)). compartments are characterized with volume V and partition coefficient P. Exchanges between are governed by blood flows, F. Elimination is assumed proportional to the elimination constant, ke. The set value of each parameter is given in Table 1. The ingested quantity by unit of time ki (en ng/min), is determined by the exposure scenario.

| Figure 1 gives a graphical representation of the model used. Only ingestion exposure is described in this model (the totality of the exposure dose is assumed to be absorbed). The TCDD is supposed to be distributed into different compartments of the body : blood, fat, muscles and skin. The original formulation of van der Molen and coll. (Van der Mollen et al. 1996) regards all these compartments as being with balance in an instantaneous way. This assumption is acceptable only if slow evolutions of absorption are the limiting factor of the kinetics of the product. Since the simulation of a short peak of exposure interests us, we developed a traditional dynamic formulation (Gerlowski et al. 1983), specifies at the same time on short scales of time and the long-term.
| |
| | |
| ====Model equations====
| |
| | |
| Equations defining the proposed model are the following:
| |
| | |
| For quantities of TCDD in fat, viscera, muscle and skin, and liver:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{\delta Q_f}{\delta t} = f_f \cdot F_t \Bigl( C_{art} - \frac{Q_f}{V_f \times P_f} \Bigr) \qquad (1) </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{\delta Q_v}{\delta t} = f_v \cdot F_t \Bigl( C_{art} - \frac{Q_v}{V_v\times P_v} \Bigr) \qquad (2) </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{\delta Q_m}{\delta t} = f_m \cdot F_t \Bigl( C_{art} - \frac{Q_m}{V_m\times P_m} \Bigr) \qquad (3) </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{\delta Q_l}{\delta t} = f_l \cdot F_t \Bigl( C_{art} - \frac{Q_l}{V_l\times P_l} \Bigr) - k_e \times Q_l + k_i \qquad (4) </math>
| |
| | |
| The arterial concentration is calculated by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>C_{art} = \Bigl(\frac{f_f \times Q_f}{V_f \times P_f} + \frac{f_v \times Q_v}{V_v \times P_v} + \frac{f_m \times Q_m}{V_m \times P_m} + \frac{f_f \times Q_l}{V_f \times P_l}\Bigr) \qquad (5) </math>
| |
| | |
| Cardiac output ''F<sub>t</sub>'' is proportional to the ventilation rate Fp:
| |
| | |
| :<math>F_t = 0.7 \times F_p \times R \qquad (6) </math>
| |
| | |
| The body volume evolves as a function of age:
| |
| | |
| :<math>V_t = 0.1959 \times t - \frac{57.497}{(1+4.617 \times exp(-0.572 \times (t-11.33)))^{1/4.617}} \qquad (7) </math>
| |
| | |
| The volume of fat, viscera, liver also evolve as a function of age (Van der Molen et al. 1996):
| |
| | |
| :<math>V_g = \begin{cases} 0.5+4.5 \times \frac{t}{10}, \qquad\text{if }t\ge 10\text{,}\\ 0.5+4.5+8\times\frac{t-10}{15}, \qquad\text{if }10 \le t \le 15\\0.5+4.5+8+17\times\frac{t-15}{55}, \qquad\text{if }t \ge15\text{.}\end{cases} \qquad (8) </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>V_v = \frac{6.095}{(1+4.617 \times exp(-0.3937 \times (t-6.5582)))^{1/4.617}} \qquad (9) </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>V_f = \frac{1.758}{(1+4.617 \times exp(-0.3309 \times (t-12.478)))^{1/4.617}} \qquad (10) </math>
| |
| | |
| Volume of "muscles and skin" compartment is calculated as the difference between 90% of the total body volume (because bones are not included) and the other compartments:
| |
| | |
| :<math>V_m = 0.9 \times V_t - V_f - V_v - V_l \qquad (11) </math>
| |
| | |
| Units used are : quantities of TCDD are expressed in ng, TCDD concentrations in ng/L, age in years volumes in liter, flows in L/min, the elimination constant in min-1, the ingested quantity by unit of time in ng/min. The body density is assumed equal to 1.
| |
| | |
| Figure 2 presents the temporal evolution of these parameters for a woman (the evolution is overall similar for a man). The reference averaged values used for the parameters not evolving with time are given in Table 1. The equations of the model were coded using the MCSim software (Bois et al. 1997).

| ===Rationale===
| |
| | |
| The proposed model is based on a previous one proposed by van der Mollen and colleagues in 1996 (Van der Mollen et al. 1996). The model computes various measures of internal dose as a function of time. The superposition of a peak exposure to a time-varying background intake can be described. All ingested TCDD is supposed to be absorbed. TCDD is supposed to distribute between blood, fat, muscles and skin, and viscera. The model equations are solved dynamically (by numerical integration) with the MCSim simulation package to give a good precision both on short-term and long-term scales. The body mass and the volume of the various body tissues change with the age of the simulated individual.
