Protective effect of glutathione S-transferase enzyme activity against aflatoxin B 1 in poultry species: relationship between glutathione S-transferase enzyme kinetic parameters, and resistance to aflatoxin B 1
Comparative studies designed to investigate the role of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity on the enzyme catalyzed trapping of aflatoxin B -8,9-epoxide (AFBO) with glutathione, and the relationship with aflatoxin B (AFB ) resistance have not been conducted in poultry. Hepatic cytosolic fractio...

Zusammenfassung: | Comparative studies designed to investigate the role of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity on the enzyme catalyzed trapping of aflatoxin B
-8,9-epoxide (AFBO) with glutathione, and the relationship with aflatoxin B
(AFB
) resistance have not been conducted in poultry. Hepatic cytosolic fractions of chickens, quail, turkeys and ducks were used to measure in vitro the enzymatic parameters maximal velocity (V
), Michaelis-Menten constant (K
) and intrinsic clearance (CL
) for GST activity. AFB
used ranged from 2.0 to 157.5 µM and the AFB
-GSH produced was identified and quantitated by HPLC. Significant differences were found in GST V
values, being the highest in chickens, followed by quail, ducks and turkeys. The K
values were also significantly different, with chickens < ducks < turkeys < quail. Chickens had the higher CL
value in contrast to ducks. Differences by sex showed that duck females had a higher CL
value than the turkey and quail, whereas duck males had a CL
close to that of turkey. The ratio "AFBO production /AFB
-GSH production" follows the order duck>turkey>quail>chicken, in agreement with the known poultry sensitivity. The extremely high "AFB
epoxidation activity/ GST activity" ratio observed in ducks might be the explanation for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in this species. |
