The pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion of 14C-labelled aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were examined after oral administration (250 μg/kg body weight) in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Plasma concentrations of parent AFB1 were best described by a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model, in which peak plasma concentration (503 ppb) occurred at 4.1 hr after dosing. The absorption and elimination half-lives were 1.5 and 3.7 hr, respectively. AFB1 was highly bound (95%) to plasma proteins. Concentrations of 14C (in AFB1 equivalents) measured in the tissues were highest at 4 hr, ranging from 596 ppb in the plasma to 40 ppb in the muscle. AFB1 residues were rapidly depleted; at 24 hr the concentrations in the plasma and muscle were 32 and <5 ppb, respectively. Concentrations in the bile exceeded 2000 ppb (at 24 hr), whereas the highest concentration in the urine was 51 ppb (4–6-hr collection interval). Renal and biliary excretion accounted for <5% of the administered dose, indicating incomplete absorption. Pharmacokinetic modelling and tissue data demonstrate a very low potential for the accumulation of AFB1 and its metabolites in the edible flesh of channel catfish through the consumption of AFB1-contaminated feed.  相似文献

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is an important mycotoxin frequently found in milk and dairy products. AFM1 is a major metabolic product of Aflatoxin B1 and is usually excreted in the milk and urine of dairy cattle that have consumed aflatoxin-contaminated feed.

The aim of this study was to determine the AFM1 concentration in curd and whey of Iranian white cheese. The cheese milk samples were artificially contaminated with AFM1 in six levels (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, and 1.75 μg L−1). Cheese was produced according to Iranian traditional recipe. AFM1 distribution between curd, whey and cheese was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using immunoaffinity column clean up and florescence detection. AFM1 was recovered in whey, curd and cheese in the concentrations of 0.43, 1.47 and 1.57 μg L−1,respectively. The level of Aflatoxin M1 in curd and cheese obtained 3.12- and 3.65-fold more than that in whey that shows the affinity of Aflatoxin M1 to the protein fraction of milk.  相似文献

Effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) administration (7 mg/kg body weight i.p.) on rat hepatic mitochondrial respiratory components have been examined. Succinoxidase and cytochrome oxidase activities were decreased in liver mitochondria isolated from rats 12–24 h after AFB1 treatment. Both enzyme activities returned to normal levels after 48 h. Glutamate dehydrogenase and β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activities did not show any alterations up to 24 h and thereafter increased at 48–72 h. Succinate dehydrogenase activity was impaired by 41% at 12 h and thereafter was found to be normal. The intramitochondrial cytochrome b content declined at 24–72 h, whereas cytochrome aa3 content was decreased maximally at 72 h after AFB1 administration. These observations on mitochondrial enzyme activities and cytochrome contents correlate well with our earlier observations made on hepatic mitochondrial respiratory rates after AFB1 treatment. The impairment of respiratory functions possibly results from membrane damage and selective modification of gene expression in mitochondria imparted by AFB1.  相似文献

Sprague-Dawley rats were given either ten daily doses of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) or the solvent tricaprylin intragastrically over a 2-wk period and were fed diets containing either 1.6 or 20% corn oil throughout the study. Hepatic lipid composition was analysed in groups of five rats both 3 and 13 wk after the start of treatment, in order to determine short-term and longer-term alterations. Total lipid and cholesterols (total, free and esterified) increased on the high-fat diet at wk 3. At wk 13 only total and esterified cholesterol were increased by 20% corn oil. AFB1 treatment resulted in large intra-group variations in total lipid and cholesterol at wk 3, but these were no longer apparent by wk 13. AFB1 produced various alterations in the fatty acid composition of hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), apparent at wk 3 but not at wk 13. The unsaturation index decreased but no changes were seen in the saturated fatty acids. Only in animals fed 20% corn oil did AFB1 result in significant changes in 18:2, 20:3 and 22:6 fatty acids, while 20:4 and 22:5 tended to decrease and 18:1 to increase in response to AFB1 treatment with both diets in both phospholipids. The high-corn oil diet was found to increase 18:2, 22:6, and total unsaturation in PC and PE, while the ratio of 20:4 to 18:2 tended to decrease in these phospholipids, γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase, an indicator of liver damage, was significantly increased in AFB1-treated animals, with the greatest increase over controls in those fed the high-fat diet.  相似文献

The effect of esterified glucomannan on aflatoxin B1 toxicity in ducklings was studied by immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in hepatic cells on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver samples. Cherry Valley ducklings were divided into five groups, 20 birds in each. One of the groups was fed with conventional feed, and the other groups were fed with diet containing 100 ppb aflatoxin B1, that containing 0.05% esterified glucomannan, or that containing 100 ppb aflatoxin B1 supplemented with 0.05 or 0.1% esterified glucomannan, from five days of age for one month, and subsequently all the groups were fed with conventional feed for 20 days. Four birds of each group were sacrificed on the 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th and 50th day of feeding, and PCNA on the liver tissue sections was quantitatively analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. The percentage of PCNA-positive hepatocytes was significantly higher in the group given diet containing aflatoxin B1 than in the other groups, which were not significantly different from each other. The results demonstrate that supplementation of feed with esterified glucomannan is effective in reduction of aflatoxin B1-induced hepatic injury in ducklings.  相似文献

Male and female weanling rats, divided into three groups, were maintained for 30, 60 and 90 days on an experimental diet without vitamin C. The drinking water containing or devoid of vitamin C was offered each day. The first group had no vitamin C; the second group or control had normal vitamin C and the third group had above-normal vitamin C in the water. Twenty-four hours after the last feeding, the animals were decapitated and the liver microsomes plus soluble fraction (9000 g) were prepared. This preparation was used for O-demethylase and the hydroxylase assays of aflatoxins B1 and G1 (AFB1 and AFG1). Results from O-demethylation in both control and experimental groups of both sexes, showed that O-demethylase activity is directly related to ascorbic acid content of the water. But the hydroxylase activity in male and female animals maintained on the same diet showed only slight differences. In the male, there was an increase with time of hydroxylase activity with AFB1 up to 60 days and a decrease at 90 days. Hydroxylation assay revealed that in the female, metabolism of AFB1 increased at 30 days but decreased at 60 and 90 days.  相似文献

Traditional herbal medicines, popularly known as ‘jamu’ and ‘makjun’ in Malaysia and Indonesia, are consumed regularly to promote health. In consideration of their frequent and prolonged consumption, the natural occurrence of aflatoxins (AF) in these products was determined using immunoaffinity column clean-up and high-performance liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization. The evaluated method, which entails dilution of sample extracts with Tween 20–phosphate buffered saline (1:9, v/v) and a chromatographic system using isocratic mobile phase composed of water–methanol–acetonitrile (70:20:10, v/v/v), was effective in separating AFB1, AFG1 and AFG2 from interference at their retention times. Results were confirmed using post-column derivatization with photochemical reactor. For 23 commercial samples analyzed, mean levels (incidence) of AFB1, AFB2 and AFG1 in positive samples were 0.26 (70%), 0.07 (61%) and 0.10 (30%) μg/kg, respectively; one sample was positive for AFG2 at a level of 0.03 (4%) μg/kg. In contrast to the high levels of AF in crude herbal drugs and medicinal plants reported previously by other researchers, the low contamination levels reported in this study may be attributed to the higher selectivity to AF of the method applied. Based on the AFB1 levels and the daily consumption of positive samples, a mean probable daily intake of 0.022 ng/kg body weight was calculated.  相似文献

HPLC residues of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin in eggs of laying hens   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Eggs of 12 laying hens with 5 mg/kg/day oral administration of 5% enrofloxacin (EFX) or ciprofloxacin (CFX) solution during 5 days contained residues from 0.02 to 1.98 μg/g (EFX) or 0.14 to 0.28 μg/g (CFX). At identical dosage regime High Performance Liquid Chromatograhy (HPLC) residues of EFX were 6-fold greater than CFX ones. Maximun concentrations were detected at the second day after the administration withdrawal. The limits of detection were 0.019 μg/g for EFX and 0.156 μg/g for CFX. The recovery was 36–50% for CFX and 49–85% for EFX. The withdrawal treatment periods in hens are six days for EFX and five days for CFX in order to avoid violative levels of egg residues.  相似文献

Changes in the quality of eggs of birds exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been described, but have never been directly attributed to PCBs. Polychlorinated biphenyl residues in eggs have been associated with reduced reproductive success and embryonic deformities in wild birds. Egg size and composition, specifically the amount of albumen, yolk, and water in an egg, also influence the growth and viability of embryos and hatchlings, and consequently the reproductive success of birds. To deter mine whether PCB exposure of adult birds affected the size and composition of their eggs, 25 pairs of captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius) were fed a mixture of PCB-spiked (1248:1254:1260) food to give an approximate exposure of 7 mg/kg body weight/d, beginning 1 mo prior to pairing, and continuing throughout the courtship, egg-laying, and incubation periods. This dietary level in the adult female kestrels resulted in mean total PCB residues in the eggs of 34.1 microg/g wet weight (geometric mean), which is environmentally relevant. PCB residues in eggs increased with the time of female exposure to the contaminated diet and laying date. Variation in egg size within PCB clutches was significantly greater than within control clutches, although absolute egg mass and volume did not differ markedly by treatment. Only infertile eggs and only one egg per clutch were used for egg composition analysis. Yolks in the PCB-contaminated eggs were heavier, with less wet and dry albumen relative to control eggs. Water content and eggshell thickness were not significantly affected by PCB exposure. These results suggest that eggs from the PCB treatment have relatively more lipid and less protein available for embryonic development. Changes in egg composition were not associated with egg size, lay date, ambient temperature, humidity, or precipitation, which are factors known to affect these variables in bird eggs. The PCB-induced changes in egg composition described here provide insight into possible mechanisms contributing to reduced reproductive performance in wild birds exposed to PCBs.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine whether medium supplementation by antioxidants and fatty acids would improve the viability of cultured rat hepatocytes and protect them against doxorubicin toxicity. We examined the effects of three agents: vitamin E, sodium pyruvate and egg yolk (the combination of vitamin E, sodium pyruvate and fatty acids is a proprietary, patented technology of Warner Lambert called CRT) 0.3% (v/v) as a source of fatty acids, on cell viability measured by the dehydrogenase-dependent bioreduction of a tetrazolium salt (MTS). Untreated hepatocytes and hepatocytes treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, EC50 5.7 m ) or doxorubicin (1 and 30 μ ) were exposed to different amounts of a mixture of antioxidants and fatty acids. The mixture, identified as 1X, provided a final concentration of 5 units of vitamin E, 0.1% egg yolk and 10 m sodium pyruvate while the 3X and 5X mixtures contained proportionately higher concentrations of these components. The mixtures were added 18 hr prior to, simultaneously with or following treatment with doxorubicin and just simultaneously with CCl4. Neither vitamin E, sodium pyruvate nor egg yolk alone improved viability. However, the viability of untreated hepatocytes improved significantly when the 3X mixture was added after 18 hr as indicated by determination of MTS reduction activity 24 hr later. The viability of doxorubicin treated cultures (1 and 30 μ ) increased significantly when exposed either to the 3X or 5X mixtures simultaneously. A significant increase in viability was also seen when cells were exposed to the 3X mixture following doxorubicin (1 μ ). The mixtures did not protect against toxicity caused by CCl4, perhaps due to the overwhelming level of damage at its EC50 concentration. It is proposed that the antioxidant properties of vitamin E and sodium pyruvate protect the cells from low levels of reactive oxygen species generated spontaneously in culture and by doxorubicin metabolism while the fatty acids help to maintain the integrity of hepatocyte membranes, resulting in greater viability of the hepatocytes.  相似文献

Cyclopiazonic acid and aflatoxin B1 are mycotoxins which can both be produced by the same moulds. Men can be exposed to these mycotoxins directly via ingestion of plant-derived food, as well as, indirectly via consumption of animal products. Although it is well known that aflatoxin B1 is mutagenic, contradictory results exist on the mutagenicity of cyclopiazonic acid. Using the Ames test cyclopiazonic acid was not found to be mutagenic either with or without metabolic activation by S9-mix of Arochlor treated rats. However, the mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 was inhibited in the presence of cyclopiazonic acid. Since cyclopiazonic acid inhibited the formation of certain metabolites of caffeine and testosterone, it was concluded that the reduction of the mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 in the presence of cyclopiazonic acid results from the inhibition of the bioactivation of aflatoxin B1 by certain cytochrome P450 enzymes.  相似文献

Aflatoxins and fumonisin B1 are hepatotoxic and carcinogenic metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium moniliforme, respectively. These fungi are common natural contaminants of corn, and both aflatoxins and fumonisin B1 have been implicated as aetiological agents in animal and human diseases. To determine whether these mycotoxins co-exist on corn under natural conditions, 28 samples from the 1991 Georgia (USA) corn crop were assayed for (total) aflatoxin and fumonisin B1. 27 samples were positive for aflatoxin, 24 samples were positive for fumonisin B1, and 23 samples had detectable levels of both. In the positive samples, the mean aflatoxin concentration was 73 ppb (SD = 86), and the average fumonisin B1 concentration was 0.87 ppm (SD = 0.65). A correlation between aflatoxin and fumonisin B1 concentrations was not evident. None the less, these results demonstrate that exposure to both mycotoxins can occur simultaneously by consumption of co-contaminated corn.  相似文献

Two studies were conducted to determine whether the aluminium deposited in the bones, muscles and kidneys of young growing rats fed diets supplemented with A1(OH)3 (989 or 1070 μg A1/g diet) for 16 days was retained after the A1(OH)3 was removed from the diets. Al levels in the tissues of test rats decreased significantly (P 0.01) 3 days after withdrawal of the Al(OH)3 from the diet, and 7 days after withdrawal the tissue concentrations of A1 were similar in the test and control animals. Ingestion of A1 had no effect on tissue levels of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc or iron.  相似文献

The dopaminergic receptors of planaria have been studied with pharmacological and biochemical criteria. Dopamine D1 selective agonists (CY 208243 (10 μg/ml) and SKF 38393 (10 μg/ml)) induced in planaria typical screw-like hyperkinesias, that were inhibited by a D1 antagonist (SCH 23390 (10 μg/ml)), but not by a D2 antagonist (sulpiride (1000 μg/ml)). Dopamine D2 selective agonists (PHNO (5 μg/ml), lisuride (5 μg/ml)) on the contrary induced a typical “C” like curling, that was inhibited by pretreatment with D2 selective blocking agents, but not by D1 selective blocking agents. With agonists with a D1 /D2 mixed action (apomorphine 60 μg/ml) or with amphetamine (100 μg/ml), the D1 type movements appeared to be more evident.

Dopamine D1-selective agonists, mixed action agonists or D2-selective agonists, all induced a significant increase in levels of cAMP, that was prevented by pretreatment with the specific DA blocking agent.  相似文献

TRIMU-5 (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-NHC2H4CH(CH3)2) is a potent μ2-opioid agonist/μ1-opioid antagonist. A supraspinal dose (0.5 μg i.c.v.) of TRIMU-5 which is not analgesic when given alone antagonizes the analgesia produced by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) morphine, a μ1 action. In contrast, in a synergy model consisting of the simultaneous administration of intrathecal morphine (0.1 μg) with multiple doses of i.c.v. morphine, the same supraspinal TRIMU-5 dose (0.5 μg i.c.v.) enhances analgesia. Supraspinal TRIMU-5 also potentiates spinal morphine directly, shifting its dose-response to the left. These results imply that within the brainstem μ1 receptors mediate supraspinal analgesia while μ2 receptors mediate the synergy with spinal μ systems.  相似文献

Voltammetric determination of vitamins in a pharmaceutical formulation   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Direct current polarography and differential pulse polarographic methods have been developed for the qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of vitamin B1, B2 and B6. Thiamin (Vitamin B1) produced a well-defined wave in 0.1 M KCl at pH 5.2 with E1/2=−1.2 V and Ep=−1.22 V versus saturated calomal electrode (SCE). Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) gave two distinct waves in Britton Robinson buffer at pH 1.8 with E1/2 VALUES=−0.13 and −0.34 V versus SCE and at pH 6.5 with E1/2=−1.10 V and Ep=−1.2 V versus SCE. Pyridoxin (Vitamin B6) produced a well-defined wave in Britton Robinson buffer at pH 6.5 with E1/2=−1.7 V and Ep=−1.68 V versus SCE. All the three Vitamins under study are reversibly reduced at the electrode surface. The number of electrons involved in the electrode process for vitamin B1 and B6 is one in each case where as for the two waves of B2 it is one and two, respectively. This has been confirmed by the measurement of E3/4E1/4 values and also from the log plot slopes for the reduction waves. The wave height of polarogram was found to be proportional to the vitamin concentration. The developed methods have been standardised for the determination of these compounds in pharmaceutical formulation. The concentration of Vitamin B1, B2 and B6 are found to be 9.96, 9.92 and 3.01 mg, respectively in 240 mg of capsule powder of a standard company (name has not been disclosed due to secrecy purpose). The results have been found to be in excellent agreement to that claimed by the manufacturer. The observed data has been subjected to statistical analysis, which revealed high reliability and precision.  相似文献

B vitamins fortification of meat products is useful to compensate the loss of these compounds occurring during the heat treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of heat treatments on the B vitamins concentration in fortified meat products. A rapid and reliable method for the simultaneous determination of Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 in homogenized boiled ham and in various fortified burgers was set up. Extraction procedure and HPLC method ensure low detection limits, good sensitivity and resolution. Results showed that cooking processes caused a decrease in the B vitamins content both in mild (70–90 °C) and severe (120 °C) conditions. Performing a fortification of 25 μg g−1 the residual concentration of B vitamins after cooking allow to reach the recommended daily allowance, thus suggesting that B vitamins fortification of meat product is an useful practice.  相似文献
