Cereals are often contaminated with fumonisins, which are the toxic byproducts of mold. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of maternal exposure to fumonisins on the development and the liver function of the offspring at weaning. Two doses of fumonisins (60 and 90 mg/kg b.w.) were tested. The changes in the basal blood morphology, the biochemical parameters, the absolute and relative weights of the vital organs, and the changes in the cardiac and biceps brachii muscle histology were studied. The liver damage was assessed by evaluating the liver morphology and the common clinical liver panel. Maternal fumonisin intoxication caused a decrease in the body weight at birth and an increase in the heart, liver, kidney, lungs, ovaries, and testes weights. The cytokines and hormones, as well as the red blood cell counts and hemoglobin levels, were elevated in a dose-dependent manner following the exposure to fumonisins. Maternal exposure caused degenerative morphological and structural changes in the liver, as well as inflammation in the striated muscles, such as the heart and biceps brachii, and disproportionate development of the rat offspring in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, FB exposure resulted in the disproportional development of the rat offspring in a dose-dependent manner, which was probably caused by the bodily hormonal dysregulation. Prenatal fumonisin exposure can be a pathological precursor for serious diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, later in life.
谷物常常被伏马菌素污染,伏马菌素是霉菌的有毒副产品。本研究的目的是确定母体接触伏马菌素对断奶时后代发育和肝功能的影响。测试了两种剂量的伏马菌素(60和90毫克/千克体重)。研究了基础血液形态、生化参数、重要器官的绝对和相对重量的变化,以及心脏和肱二头肌组织学的变化。通过评估肝脏形态和常见临床肝功能指标来评估肝脏损伤。母体伏马菌素中毒导致出生时体重下降,心脏、肝脏、肾脏、肺、卵巢和睾丸重量增加。接触伏马菌素后,细胞因子、激素以及红细胞计数和血红蛋白水平呈剂量依赖性升高。母体接触导致肝脏出现退行性形态和结构变化,以及横纹肌(如心脏和肱二头肌)出现炎症,并且大鼠后代呈剂量依赖性发育不均衡。此外,伏马菌素暴露导致大鼠后代呈剂量依赖性发育不均衡,这可能是由身体激素失调引起的。产前接触伏马菌素可能是日后肥胖和糖尿病等严重疾病的病理先兆。
