Evaluation of the efficacy of whey protein to ameliorate the toxic effects of aflatoxins in rats

The present study was conducted to assess the ability of whey protein concentrate (WPC) to protect against aflatoxicosis. Three groups of Sprague–Dawley male rats were used. The control (a) was fed on casein diet, the control (b) received the same diet contaminated with aflatoxins (AFT; 2.5 mg AFB 1...

Zusammenfassung:The present study was conducted to assess the ability of whey protein concentrate (WPC) to protect against aflatoxicosis. Three groups of Sprague–Dawley male rats were used. The control (a) was fed on casein diet, the control (b) received the same diet contaminated with aflatoxins (AFT; 2.5 mg AFB 1 kg −1). The AFT-contaminated diet was supplemented with WPC and fed to the third group for 9 weeks. Compared with control (a) rats, those fed the contaminated diet (control b) showed significant drop ( p
