Fumonisins (FB) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, frequently associated with corn. It produces toxicity, including teratogenicity, equine leukoencephalomalacia, porcine pulmonary edema, hepatic or renal damage in most animal species and perturb sphingolipid metabolism. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effects of royal jelly (RJ) against FB toxicity. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six treatment groups including the control group; group fed FB-contaminated diet (200mg/kg diet) and the groups treated orally with RJ (100 or 150mg/kg body weight) with or without FB for 3 weeks. FB alone decreased body weight gain, feed intake, GPX and SOD. Whereas it increased in ALT, AST, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, createnine and uric acid levels. Animals received FB showed severe histological and histochemical changes in liver and kidney tissues. Cotreatment with FB plus RJ resulted in a significant improvement in all the tested parameters and the histological and histochemical pictures of the liver and kidney. These improvements were pronounced in animals fed FB-contaminated diet plus the high dose of RJ. It could be concluded that RJ have a protective effects against FB toxicity and this protection was dose dependent.
伏马菌素(FB)是由轮枝镰孢菌产生的霉菌毒素,常与玉米相关。它会产生毒性,包括致畸性、马脑白质软化症、猪肺水肿,对大多数动物物种造成肝脏或肾脏损伤,并扰乱鞘脂代谢。本研究的目的是评估蜂王浆(RJ)对FB毒性的保护作用。将60只雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠分为六个治疗组,包括对照组;喂食受FB污染饲料(200mg/kg饲料)的组,以及口服RJ(100或150mg/kg体重)且有或无FB处理3周的组。单独使用FB会降低体重增加、采食量、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)。而它会使谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、甘油三酯、胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、肌酐和尿酸水平升高。接受FB处理的动物在肝脏和肾脏组织中出现严重的组织学和组织化学变化。FB与RJ联合处理导致所有测试参数以及肝脏和肾脏的组织学和组织化学图像有显著改善。在喂食受FB污染饲料加高剂量RJ的动物中,这些改善尤为明显。可以得出结论,RJ对FB毒性具有保护作用,且这种保护作用呈剂量依赖性。
