    Product Description

    Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) is a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS).1,2 It enhances oleic acid- and palmitic acid-induced lipid accumulation, an effect that can be reversed by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) antagonist GW 9662 (Item No. 70785), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in HepG2 cells in an in vitro model of steatosis when used at a concentration of 200 µM.3 Prenatal exposure to PFBS is positively correlated with preterm birth.1 PFBS has been found as a contaminant in wastewater.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
