With the ratios being high, around 20-30:1, shortly after exposure and dropping gradually as more time passes to rest around 2-5:1. Therefore, a high ratio of oxidized metabolites to the monoester metabolite suggests that there was recent exposure to DiBP, within a few hours of measuring, while a lower ratio suggests that there has been more time since exposure. In addition to oxidation, MiBP can also undergo a ] reaction, resulting in the metabolite MiBP-glucuronide.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Jeong SH, Jang JH, Cho HY, Lee YB | title = Toxicokinetics of diisobutyl phthalate and its major metabolite, monoisobutyl phthalate, in rats: UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method development for the simultaneous determination of diisobutyl phthalate and its major metabolite, monoisobutyl phthalate, in rat plasma, urine, feces, and 11 various tissues collected from a toxicokinetic study | journal = Food and Chemical Toxicology | volume = 145 | pages = 111747 | date = November 2020 | pmid = 32926938 | doi = 10.1016/j.fct.2020.111747 }}</ref>

== Toxicity ==

There's insufficient data to determine if DIBP is associated with acute dermal or inhalation toxicity, eye or dermal irritation, or sensitization. There is evidence on DIBP being a ] toxicant. Exposure to the compound can induce changes in body weight, liver weight, reproductive effects, and developmental effects like testicular weight, ], fetal body weight, ] in male and female rats, and testicular testosterone production, among others.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010 |title=Toxicity review of diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP) |url=https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/125773/dibp.pdf | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130420132018/https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/125773/dibp.pdf | archive-date = 20 April 2013 |access-date=2023-03-17 |website=www.cpsc.gov}}</ref>

] studies show that exposures to DIBP have grown recently, presumably as a result of DIBPs use as a substitute for other phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in plastics.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Wittassek M, Wiesmüller GA, Koch HM, Eckard R, Dobler L, Müller J, Angerer J, Schlüter C | display-authors = 6 | title = Internal phthalate exposure over the last two decades--a retrospective human biomonitoring study | journal = International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health | volume = 210 | issue = 3–4 | pages = 319–333 | date = May 2007 | pmid = 17400024 | doi = 10.1016/j.ijheh.2007.01.037 | bibcode = 2007IJHEH.210..319W }}</ref><ref name=":10">{{cite journal | vauthors = Zota AR, Calafat AM, Woodruff TJ | title = Temporal trends in phthalate exposures: findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2010 | journal = Environmental Health Perspectives | volume = 122 | issue = 3 | pages = 235–241 | date = March 2014 | pmid = 24425099 | doi = 10.1289/ehp.1306681 | pmc = 3948032 }}</ref> In the United States, for instance, the prevalence of MIBP detection in urine has risen from 72% of the general population in 2001–2002 to 96% in 2009–2010, according to data from the ] (NHANES).<ref name=":10" />

The main issue with phthalate exposure is typically male reproductive toxicity, which is a risk that many phthalates share.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yost EE, Euling SY, Weaver JA, Beverly BE, Keshava N, Mudipalli A, Arzuaga X, Blessinger T, Dishaw L, Hotchkiss A, Makris SL | display-authors = 6 | title = Hazards of diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) exposure: A systematic review of animal toxicology studies | journal = Environment International | volume = 125 | pages = 579–594 | date = April 2019 | pmid = 30591249 | pmc = 8596331 | doi = 10.1016/j.envint.2018.09.038 | bibcode = 2019EnInt.125..579Y }}</ref>

Despite the limited studies in other species, research on ]<ref name=":5" /> shows that environmental exposure to DBP and DIBP can have serious consequences for fish offspring. As they go up the food chain and into polluted water, these phthalates can build up in aquatic organisms. Fish are susceptible to environmental toxins in their early lives, whether they are exposed to them directly or indirectly through their parents.
