1. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were given 630 g/kg sucrose or starch with 2 mg/kg aflatoxin B1 for periods of 75, 145 and 200 d, and the 24 h urinary excretion of aflatoxin M1 was measured.2. Less aflatoxin M1 was excreted by the rats fed on the sucrose-rich diet compared to those fed on the starch-rich diet. This difference was especially marked when expressed per g metabolizing tissue.3. It is concluded that sucrose probably decreases the activity of aflatoxin B1 metabolism in a similar way to its previously found effect on the drug-metabolizing enzyme.

Abstract. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxic compound commonly found in some crops with an adverse health effect on human and animals. Some beneficial microorganisms (or probiotics) such as lactic acid bacteria have shown the ability to reduce the bioavailability of aflatoxins and its intestinal absorption. However, the dose and duration of aflatoxins exposure and probiotic treatment can influence the ability of probiotics to remove aflatoxins. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the efficacy of oral probiotic Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain (LcS) induction in an acute exposure to AFB1 in rats. Experimentally, Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: AFB1 only (n = 9); AFB1 treated with LcS (n = 9); and control (no AFB1 exposure) (n = 6) groups. The blood AFB1 level of rats treated with LcS was slightly lower than the untreated AFB1 induced rats (11.12 ± 0.71 vs 10.93 ± 0.69 ng g–1). Also, LcS treatment slightly moderated the liver and kidney biomarkers in AFB1 induced rats. However, a trend for a significant difference was only observed in ALT of AFB1 induced rats treated with LcS compared to their counterparts (126.11 ± 36.90 vs 157.36 ± 15.46, p = 0.06). Rats’ body weight decreased in all animals force-fed with AFB1 with no significant difference between LcS treatment compared to the counterpart. In conclusion, this experiment indicated that probiotic LsC was able to slightly ameliorate the adverse effect of an acute exposure to AFB1 in rats. However, future studies with longer probiotics treatment or higher probiotics dose is required to confirm these findings.

Before And After

The influence of gender and gonadectomy on (1) the density of the renal thiazide-sensitive ion transporter, as quantitated by the ability of renal membranes to bind (3H)metolazone, and (2) the changes in the urinary excretion of electrolytes caused by maximal bendroflumethiazide (BFTZ) in Sprague-Dawley rats was determined. The density of the thiazide receptor was twofold higher (P < 0.001) in females than in males. Orchiectomy increased thiazide receptor significantly in one of two studies (P < 0.01). Ovariectomy decreased thiazide receptor by more than 20% (P < 0.01) in both studies. The rates of the urinary excretion of sodium and chloride after BFTZ and the increases in the urinary excretion of sodium, chloride, and ammonium caused by BFTZ were greater in intact females than in intact males; BFTZ decreased the urinary excretion of calcium 50% in intact females, but not in intact males. Regression analysis of the thiazide receptor (in intact and gonadectomized animals) versus the urinary excretion of electrolytes before and after BFTZ yielded a model in which one-third of the variation in thiazide receptor could be related to the change in the excretion of calcium and ammonium produced by BFTZ, raising the possibility that the density of the thiazide receptor might be related to calcium or acid-base homeostasis. It was concluded that the renal excretion of sodium, chloride, calcium, and ammonium are, in part, controlled by gender and sex hormones via their regulation of the renal density of the thiazide diuretic receptor.
