The interaction potential of peroxisome proliferators of similar and dissimilar structure was examined in B6C3F₁ mice. Mice were fed diets containing varying concentrations of ciprofibrate (Cipro), clofibrate (Clof) or di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), or combinations of Cipro and Clof or Cipro and DEHP for 4 d. Induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation, measured by increased acyl-CoA oxidase activity, was used as the endpoint for analysis. An additive response occurred following joint exposure to the structurally related compounds Cipro and Clof, whereas a possible synergistic response occurred at low dose combinations of the structurally dissimilar Cipro and DEHP. These findings represent the first report assessing the in-vivo interaction potential of structurally similar and dissimilar peroxisome proliferators and provides insight into the dose-response nature of joint exposures to certain non-genotoxic carcinogens.
