ZnO-NPs alleviate aflatoxin B 1 -induced hepatoxicity in ducklings by promoting hepatic metallothionein expression
Aflatoxin B (AFB ) is a mycotoxin widely present in animal feed and human food, posing a serious threat to animal and human health. This study was aim to illustrate the mechanism of the protective role of MT against AFB -induced hepatotoxicity, as well as to explore the feasibility of enhancing the...

Zusammenfassung: | Aflatoxin B
(AFB
) is a mycotoxin widely present in animal feed and human food, posing a serious threat to animal and human health. This study was aim to illustrate the mechanism of the protective role of MT against AFB
-induced hepatotoxicity, as well as to explore the feasibility of enhancing the tolerance of poultry to AFB
by upregulating the expression of hepatic MT. After being exposed to AFB
(50 ng/kg) primary duckling hepatocytes, the cell viability, the antioxidant index (SOD and GPx) and the mRNA levels of MT downstream genes (PTGR, p53, TrxR, AR and Bcl-2) significantly (p |
