Effects of sequential exposure to aflatoxin B1 and diethylnitrosamine on vascular and stomach tissue and additional target organs in rats.

چکیده
Male weanling rats were given a standard amount (375 micrograms) of aflatoxin B1; some were then exposed to dietary diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in varying concentrations ranging from 5 to 80 ppm for 20 weeks. They were maintained for an additional period of time following DEN exposure and then killed for gross and microscopic examination. DEN at 5 ppm did not enhance aflatoxin B1 liver carcinogenesis. Ten ppm or more of DEN, however, enhanced liver carcinogenesis and introduced two additional target organs; angiosarcomas of the lung and squamous cell carcinomas of the stomach types of tumors which have not been observed after treatment with DEN alone, were noted.

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...

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...

An alkaline elution assay previously used to detect single-strand breaks in DMA of cultured mammalian cells has been modified to allow the analysis of DMA damage in various organs of rats following exposure to chemical carcinogens. Prior to exposure, the DMA of neonatal animals was labeled with [3H]thymidine. DNA damage was assessed in liver, lung, thymus, brain, kidney, stomach, duodenum, colo...
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....

Formalin is widely used in industry and in medicine (as tissue fixative and disinfectant).It contains reactive molecules which have been known for its cytotoxic effects. To evaluate the effect of formalin exposure on the testicular tissue and sperm parameter from neonatal period through physical and sexual maturity, 28 male Wister rats were assigned into two equal test and control groups. The t...
