Ninety Day Toxicity and Toxicokinetics of Fluorochloridone after Oral Administration in Rats

چکیده
The ninety day toxicity and toxicokinetics of fluorochloridone (FLC) were accessed in Wistar rats. Animals were gavaged with FLC at doses of 31.25 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg for ninety days, followed by thirty days for recovery. On the 1st, 60th, 75th and 90th days of the dosing phase, plasma of ten animals of all groups treated with FLC was collected for toxicokinetic analysis of FLC by an UPLC-MS/MS method. Numerous changes in body weight, hematology, serum chemistry, and organ weight ratios were observed by the 45th and 90th dosing day. Most changes in groups treated with FLC were absent on the last recovery day. Testis and epididymis lesions were consistently seen in histopathological observations on the 45th, 90th dosing day and the last recovery day. Repeated administration of FLC increased the level of testosterone in serum in male rats on the 90th dosing day. FLC plasma concentrations could be detected in all animal drug-treated groups during the dosing phase, and a dose proportional relationship was seen between FLC dose and AUC or Cmax. This study will support future studies on the mechanism of FLC-induced toxicity.

Background: High-fructose corn syrup-55 (HFCS-55) is a common sweetener in the food industry. Recently, we have investigated and published the effects of uncontrolled long-term oral ingestion of 55-HFCS compared to sucrose on primary ovarian insufficiency in female rats. This study aimed to compare the effects of short-term controlled HFCS-55 administration with sucrose and its possible effects...

Humans are exposed to the hepatotoxic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and nephrotoxic ochratoxin A (OTA) through diet. However, kinetic and toxicological data after their co-administration are scarce. In this study, a single oral dose of AFB1 (0.25 mg/kg bw)+OTA (0.5 mg/kgbw) was administered to fasted F344 rats. Blood, liver and kidney were harvested at different timepoints for mycotoxins quantification, ...
