Comparison of Ochratoxin, Aflatoxin, and T-2 Toxin for Their Effects on Selected Parameters Related to Digestion and Evidence for Specific Metabolism of Carotenoids in Chickens ,

Abstract: Aflatoxicosis, ochratoxicosis, and T-2 toxicosis were produced by feeding diets containing graded concentration of the appropriate toxin to broiler chicks from hatching unit 3 weeks of age. Aflatoxin, even at levels not growth inhibitory, produced a malabsorption syndrome characterized by steatorrhea, hypocarotenoidemia, and decreased concentrations of bile salts and pancreatic lipase, trypsin, amylase, and RNase. The T-2 toxin at concentrations higher than required to inhibit growth produced a mild malabsorpt… Show more

“…Aflatoxin, in chicks showed a strong malabsorption syndrome characterized by steatorrhea, hypocarotenoidemia, and decreased concentrations of bile salts and pancreatic lipase, trypsin, amylase, and RNase, while T-2 characterized by steatorrhea and decreased levels of pancreatic lipase, trypsin, amylase, and RNase [3]. In the same study, ochratoxicosis was evident to show severe hypocarotenoidemia.…”

“…Briefly, in a previous study, three pathways (PPAR signaling pathway, cysteine and methionine metabolism, and arginine and proline metabolism) have been found to be closely associated with metabolic syndrome, especially obesity 27 . In another study, the digestive system is shown to be impacted by OTA in the high-dose group 28 . Moreover, the carbohydrate metabolism pathway has been identified enriched in the medial-dose group 29 .…”

“…On the other hand, the decrease in body weight in the animals fed AFB 1 -contaminated diet alone may be due to the effects of AFB 1 on the balance between orexigenic and anorexigenic circuits that regulate the homeostatic loop of body weight regulation, leading to cachexia [20]. Another mechanism for the reduction of body weight due to AFs ingestion could be that AFs ingestion alters various digestive enzymatic activities that give rise to a malabsorption syndrome, characterized by steatorhea, hypocarotenoidemy, and to lowering of bile, pancreatic lipase, trypsin, and amylase [21]. Similar to our results, [22] reported that decrease in weight gains caused by the AFs corn was eliminated by treatment of the corn with ozone.…”
