Highlights ► The effects of perfluorobutyrate were studied in 28-day and 90-day studies in rats. ► No effects were observed in female rats given up to 150mg/kg perfluorobutyrate. ► Male effects included reversible hepatocellular hypertrophy and hypolipidemia. ► Effects observed were consistent with hepatic activation of PPARα and CAR. ► NOAEL for male rats was 6mg/kg in both the 28-day and 90-day studies.
