COMPARISON OF THE PATTERN OF DIST RI BUTION OF AFLATOXIN B 1 METABOLITES IN ADULT AND NEWBORN RATS
Recently we have reported that newborn rats are deficient in the key enzymes involved in the biotransformation of aflatoxin Bl (AFBl), a known hepatocarcinogen. Based on these data, in vivo experiments were carried out in order to investigate the bioavailability of this carcinogen in newborn rat tissues. Administration of a single dose (i. p.) of [3HlAFB 1 to groups of adult and neonatal r...
متن کاملThe effects of prolonged feeding with aflatoxin B1 on adult rat liver.
The effects of feeding adult rats for 6 weeks with a carcinogenic regimen of aflatoxin-contaminated diet are described. Effects on the histological appearance of liver sections are related to changes observed in nuclear separations carried out using zonal centrifugation. Changes in the levels of nuclear RNA and DNA synthesis have been studied in the populations of hepatic nuclei separated in th...
متن کاملEffects of aflatoxin B1 on profiles of gonadotropic (FSH and LH), steroid (testosterone and 17β-estradiol) and prolactin hormones in adult male rat
Aflatoxins (AFs) are natural contaminants of feed and feedstuffs, thus the study of the noxious effects ofthese agents on the male reproductive system is of outstanding importance. Our aim for this study is theevaluation of the effects of oral administration of aflatoxin B1 on the reproductive hormonal changes in adult male rat. Twenty eight Wistar strain male rats were selected for this study....
متن کاملCo-Exposure Effects of LPS with Various Aflatoxin B1 Doses in Isolated Perfused Rat Liver Model
Background: Activation of inflammatory cells can cause more chemicals induced-hepatotoxicity. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a fungal toxin that induces acute hepatotoxicity in humans and animals. This study was conducted to examine the effect of co-exposure LPS and various aflatoxin B1 doses on the damage hepatic parameters in isolated perfused rat liver. Methods: Thirty-two male wistar rats (250-3...
متن کاملThe pretreatment effects of pentoxifylline on aflatoxin B1-induced oxidative damage in perfused rat liver
This study was conducted to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of pentoxifylline (PTX) against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure in perfused rat livers by evaluating damage marker enzymes, antioxidant defense systems (glutathione, GSH) and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA). Sixteen rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups: control, PTX, AFB1 and AFB1 + P...
