[ 1 ] - Effects of Exposure to Aflatoxin G1 on the Plasma Biochemical Factors and Histopathological Properties of Renal Tissue in Mice

Background: Among aflatoxins, the subtype aflatoxin G1 is one of the most toxic, commonly found in cereals, legumes, dairy and non-alcoholic beers. Aflatoxins have been known as nephrotoxic compounds. In this study, changes in the expression of aquaporin-1, the histopathology of renal tissue and plasma biochemical factors after exposure to aflatoxin G1 were investigated in mice. Methods: Twent...

[ 2 ] - Investigating the Erα and Cyclin D1 Gene Expression Levels, Changes in SOD, NO, and MDA Levels, and Histopathology of Mice Testicular Tissue Treated with AFG1

Background and purpose: Previous studies have shown the adverse effects of aflatoxin G1 on testicular tissue and the process of spermatogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the expression of Cyclin D1, the estrogen receptor ERα and the levels of nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in testicular tissue following exposure to AFG1.
