1,3-butadiene(DB) is a well-established rodent carcinogen, and a probable carcinogen to humans. This study was investigated the formation of hemoglobin adduct in ICR female mice inhaled with BD for 3 weeks (5 hr/day, 5 days/week). Body weights of mice were significantly low from onward day 4 or 9 of exposure comparing the control. Hemoglobin adducts formed by DB exposure were (N-2-hydroxy-3-butenyl) valine (HB Val adduct) and (N-2,3,4-trihydroxy-butyl)valine(THB Val adduct). The levels of HB Val adducts were 1.8, 3.7 and 6.2 pmol/㎎ globin for the 500 ppm BD inhalation group. and 5.7, 7.4 and 16.0 pmol/㎎ globin for the 1000 ppm BD inhalation group, when observed on the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd week after inhalation exposure, respectively. The levels of THBVal adducts were 32.0, 42.0 and 55.0 pmol/㎎ globin for the 500 ppm DB inhalation group, and 67.8, 72.7 and 83.5 pmol/㎎ globin for the 1000 ppm BD inhalation group, when observed on the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd week after inhalation exposure, respectively. Ratios of THBVal and HBVal adducts were higher at earlier exposure period and lower concentration. Ratios on the I st, 2nd, and 3rd week were 17.8, 11.4 and 8.87 for the 500 ppm BD inhalation group, and 11.9, 9.8 and 5.2 for the 1000 ppm BD inhalation group, respectively. In conclusion, THB Val and HB Val adducts were the important hemoglobin adducts in ICR female mice inhaled with BD, and the latter was more appropriate biomarker than the other for biological monitoring of BD exposure.
