Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical, and is predominantly metabolized into glucuronide in mammals. The present study was conducted in order to examine the hepatic and intestinal glucuronidation of BPA in humans and laboratory animals such as monkeys, dogs, rats, and mice in an  in vitro  system using microsomal fractions.  Km ,  Vmax , and  CLint  values in human liver microsomes were 7.54 µM, 17.7 nmol/min/mg protein, and 2.36 mL/min/mg protein, respectively.  CLint  values in liver microsomes of monkey, dogs, rats, and mice were 1.5-, 2.4-, 1.7- and 8.2-fold that of humans, respectively. In intestinal microsomes,  Km ,  Vmax , and  CLint  values in humans were 39.3 µM, 0.65 nmol/min/mg protein, and 0.02 mL/min/mg protein, respectively. The relative levels of  CLint  in monkey, dogs, rats, and mice to that of humans were 7.0-, 12-, 34-, and 29-fold, respectively. Although  CLint  values were higher in liver microsomes than in intestinal microsomes in all species, and marked species difference in the ratio of liver to intestinal microsomes was observed as follows: humans, 118; monkeys, 25; dogs, 23; rats, 5.9; mice, 33. These results suggest that the functional roles of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes expressed in the liver and intestines in the metabolism of BPA extensively differ among humans, monkeys, dogs, rats, and mice.
