Maternal transfer and sex-differences in brain bioaccumulation for Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) exposed to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances by Kenneth N. Kikanme, Adcharee Karnjanapiboonwong, Rameshkumar Angappan, Nicole M. Dennis, Farzana Hossain, Jamie G. Suski, Christopher J. Salice, Todd A. Anderson

“…We obtained archived samples of male-female pairs of Northern bobwhite quail (NBWQ) from chronic toxicity studies where adults were exposed to either individual PFAS or binary mixtures through drinking water for at least 60 days. PFAS were detected in the brains of exposed adult quail, while brains from control birds had only occasional detections of PFAS; mostly perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), likely because our source of birds was pen-raised animals and many PFAS are ubiquitous. …”
