We evaluated the effects of chitosan intake on fecal excretion of bisphenol A (BPA) and di(2-ethyl)phthalate (DEHP) in rats. The rats were fed a chitosan diet (CHI group) or a control diet (control group) for 10 d and orally administrated BPA or DEHP (100, 500 mg/kg body weight, respectively) on day 4. Feces were collected and the rates of fecal excretion of BPA and DEHP were calculated. Fecal excretion rates of BPA and DEHP were significantly higher in the CHI group than in the control group. A significant negative correlation was observed between the fecal excretion rates of BPA and DEHP and apparent fat digestibility. Furthermore, the CHI group showed not only increased but also accelerated BPA excretion into the feces. In conclusion, we found that that chitosan intake significantly increased the fecal excretion of BPA, DEHP, and fat, suggesting that it might be useful for reducing adverse effects caused by lipophilic xenobiotics.
