Exposure to Acrylamide (AA)
� Highly variable ���� Individual consumption habits / contents of individual food groups
� Dietary sources: potato fried products (up to 50%), soft / crisp bread, biscuits, crackers other products based on cereals / potatoes,coffee / coffee substitutes
� No noteworthy exposure to AA from environmental sources (except tobacco smoke)
� Endogenous metabolic formation of AA ? scarcely studied, suggestive evidence in rats and humans
���� Estimated daily uptake (µg/kg b.w./day ; EFSA, 2014)
Infants, toddlers,children: 0.5-1.9 (average);1.4-3.4 (95th%ile);
Adolescents, adults, elderly: 0.3-0.9 (average);0.6-2.0 (95th%ile);

AA: Hazard Characterisation
(EFSA Contam Panel, draft opinion on AA in foods, 2014)
Critical endpoints for toxicity (animal studies):
Neurotoxicity: peripheral/central axono-/neuropathy in several species,
including humans
Benchmark dose ����BMDL10 : 0,43 mg/kg b.w.;
Carcinogenicity: Harderian gland tumors in mice
Benchmark dose ����BMDL10 : 0,17 mg/kg b.w.;
AA is considered a genotoxic carcinogen, acting through metabolic
conversion to epoxypropaneamide (Glycidamide,GA), a DNA damaging
(genotoxic) mutagen
6
.
Benchmark dose (BMD) : dose related to a defined (benchmark) response ( eg 10% = BMD10)
���� Lower Confidence Limit (BMDL10)
MOE : benchmark dose level divided by human exposure
MOE > 10.000 : „of low concern from a public health point of view…
…“low priority for risk management“
Benchmark dose and Margin of Exposure (MoE)for Genotoxic Carcinogens in Food
[O‘Brien et al., Food Chem Tox 44 (2006) 1613-1635; Constable A. and Barlow S, ILSI Europe Report Series 2009] 7
Dose-response curve showing how the BMDL is derived. BMR, benchmark response; BMD10, dose calculated
to cause a 10 % increase in the background incidence of tumors; BMDL10, lower confidence limit of the BMD10
AA: risk characterisation
(EfSA Contam Panel, Draft opinion on AA in foods (2014)
Human dietary exposure : potato fried products (up to 50%), soft/ crisp bread,
biscuits, crackers, other products based on cereals / potatoes,coffee/ coffee substitutes
Infants,toddlers,children (µg/kg b.w./day) : 0.5-1.9 (average); 1.4-3.4 (95th%ile);
Adolescents, adults,elderly : 0.3-0.9 (average); 0.6-2.0 (95th%ile);
Margins of exposure (MOEs)
Neurotoxicity : dietary exposure ���� no concern (thresholded ���� NOEL >100)
Neoplastic effects : dietary exposure ���� of concern
MOE mean exposure : 567 (min. lower bound) to 89 (max.upper bound)
MOE 95th%ile exposure : 283 (min. lower bound) to 50 ( max.upper bound)

Cancer is considered the critical lesion potentially associated with exposureto AA (EFSA Contam Panel, draft opinion on AA in foods, 2014):
Epidemiological evidence for increased cancer riskassociated with AA exposure?
„ In the epidemiological studies available to date AA intake was not associated with an increased risk of common cancers, including those ofthe gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, breast, prostate and bladder… A
9
the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, breast, prostate and bladder… A few studies suggested an increased risk for renal cell, endometrial and ovarian cancer ( for the two latter particularly in never-smokers), but theevidence is limited and inconsistent… Occupational studies, withtemporarily higher AA exposures, have not shown consistent increasedrisk for cancer.“

number of days with AA dosing
• no marked differences in bioavailability between water and food
• urinary mercapturic acids (AAMA and GAMA): clear indication for
metabolic GA formation in the liver
• no significant increase in GA-Hb adducts up to total dose of 900µg/kg bw(repeated or single dosage)
Biomarker response in rats: repeated oral
uptake of AA via water / food
(repeated or single dosage)
Conclusion
[Berger et al., Mol Nutr Food Res 2010] 18
At AA-dosage of 100µg/kg b.w./ day:
any GA formed from AA is effectively coupled to GSH in rat liver
Formation of phase I / II metabolites in primary rat hepatocytes: GA versus AA-GSH
19[Watzek et al., Arch Toxicol, 2013]
� AA-GSH formation at all AA concentrations faster than GA formation (1.5-3x in medium)
� at 2000 µM AA: steep GA increase at 8h to 16h ���� GSH depletion?
� only at this AA concentration ���� DNA N7-GA-Guanine detected (Cmax=16 h)
AA: single oral dose-response study in rats 0.1 – 10 000 µg/kg bw
Design
� Female SD rats (n = 54; age 50 days, weight about 150-170g), kept on AA-minimized experimental diet ( AA <0,5 µg/kg ���� uptake ≤ 0,08 µg/kg bw/d) for two weeks prior to start and during experiments with free access to (exp.) diet and water
� Low dose range ( 0 – 100 µg/kg bw, gavage):� 8 rats per group : 0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 µg 1-14C-AA/kg bw
� High dose range (500 – 10,000 µg/kg bw, gavage): � 3 rats per group: 500, 1000, 3000, 6000, 10000 µg AA/kg bw
� Sacrifice 16 h after administration; urine collected; liver, lung, kidney samples taken;
� ���� biomarkers: mercapturic acids in urine; N7-GA-Gua DNA adducts in tissues

� Primary rat hepatocytes: rate of AA-GSH formation exceeds rate of GA-formation (F ~ 1.5 -3)
� In vivo study : within dose range 0,1-100 µg AA/kg bw���� no dose related

� In vivo study : within dose range 0,1-100 µg AA/kg bw���� no dose relatedincrease of N7-GA-Gua adducts (< 2 adducts/108 nucleotides );levels found close to lower bound background levelreported for similar DNA lesions in human and rat tissues
� Human background DNA lesions ���� point of reference in future riskassessment ?
