... The high-exposure group comprised subjects routinely performing tasks associated with repair of aircraft fuel systems; the moderate-exposure group comprised subjects involved in fuel handling, distribution, recovery, and testing; and the lowexposure group does not normally come into contact with jet fuel. There was no statistically significant change in urinary alpha-GST or pi-GST concentrations among any of the groups.

... With respect to renal function, serum sodium and chloride concentrations increased only in the high-dose group. Serum creatinine concentrations increased in the low- and middle-dose groups but not in the high-dose group; however, urinary creatinine and protein concentrations were not significantly altered by JP-8.

... The concentrations of 21 proteins increased, and the concentrations of 35 proteins decreased; these 56 proteins accounted for 6% of all total resolved proteins. Only a single time-point and only one concentration were used, and the relevance of the findings to human health risk is not established.
