Sphinganine/sphingosine (SA/SO) ratio, a biomarker of fumonisin exposure, has been measured in urine, kidney and liver of male Wistar rats exposed to fumonisin-contaminated diet with and without the addition of activated carbon (AC). The latter was previously shown to adsorb fumonisin B-1 in vitro. Rats were fed either control diet or fumonisin-contaminated diet (4 mug FB1+FB2/g) or fumonisin-contaminated diet mixed with 20 mg AC/g diet for 1 week. In rats fed fumonisin-contaminated diet, the SA concentration and SA/SO ratio increased significantly and reversibly in kidney, while urine and liver did not show a significant increase of SA/SO ratio. The addition of AC to the fumonisin-contaminated diet did not alter the change of SA/SO biomarker for fumonisin exposure. This provides indications that the use of AC to reduce the toxicity of fumonisins is unlikely to be effective in vivo

Abstract
Sphinganine/sphingosine (SA/SO) ratio, a biomarker of fumonisin exposure, has been measured in urine, kidney and liver of male Wistar rats exposed to fumonisin-contaminated diet with and without the addition of activated carbon (AC). The latter was previously shown to adsorb fumonisin B-1 in vitro. Rats were fed either control diet or fumonisin-contaminated diet (4 mug FB1+FB2/g) or fumonisin-contaminated diet mixed with 20 mg AC/g diet for 1 week. In rats fed fumonisin-contaminated diet, the SA concentration and SA/SO ratio increased significantly and reversibly in kidney, while urine and liver did not show a significant increase of SA/SO ratio. The addition of AC to the fumonisin-contaminated diet did not alter the change of SA/SO biomarker for fumonisin exposure. This provides indications that the use of AC to reduce the toxicity of fumonisins is unlikely to be effective in vivoFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
