Abstract
S. K. Suneja, D. S. Wagle and G. C. Ram. T-2 toxin induced changes in liver and serum enzymes of rats. Toxicon 25, 793 – 796, 1987.—The effects on liver and serum enzymes of feeding a single dose (2 mg/kg) and daily doses (0.75 mg/kg) of T-2 toxin were studied in young male rats. Sample times were 8, 16 and 24 hr for single dose administration and 7, 14 and 21 days for daily dose administration. T-2 toxin in single and daily doses significantly reduced activities of hepatic glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and alkaline and acid phosphatases at all the sampling periods. In both feeding trials, levels of serum GPT increased, while that of acid and alkaline phosphatases significantly decreased at all the sampling times. This study indicates that the liver is affected by feeding T-2 toxin to rats.
