Patulin is a mycotoxin that is produced by species of Penicillum, Aspergillus, and Byssochylamys molds that may grow on a variety of foods including fruit, grains and cheese. Patulin, at a dose of 0.1 mg kg(-1) bw day(-1) was administered orally to growing male rats aged 5-6 weeks for a period of 60 or 90 days. The dose of patulin used in the present study was based on estimated human exposure levels. At the end of these periods, the thymus glands of patulin-treated and control Wistar rats were removed and ultrastructural changes in capillary cells of the thymus of patulin-treated Wistar rats were determined by electron microscopy. The walls of thymus capillaries of the 60-day patulin-treated rat groups (P-60) exhibited degeneration observable in electron microscopic sections. For example, loss of cytoplasm and mitochondrial cristae of cells, swollen endothelial cells, increased thickness of the basement membrane, closed lumen of capillaries, accumulation of fibrous material at the periphery of the capillaries and nuclear anomalies were seen in these sections. Such degeneration and changes were also observed in sections of capillaries of the 90-day patulin-treated rat groups (P-90). The levels of degeneration of endothelial cell nucleus of P-90 were greater than those of P-60. This study demonstrated the ultrastructural degeneration of thymus capillary cells of patulin-treated rats. The results obtained from this study may provide a guide to research dealing with the toxic effects of patulin on tissue and organ ultrastructure. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the oxidative stress that occurs in an experimental mouse model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). An experimental model of PD was created by four intraperitoneal injections of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) (4 × 20 mg/kg, at 12 h intervals). Docosahexaenoic acid was given daily by gavage for 4 weeks (36 mg/kg/day). The motor activity of the mice was evaluated via the pole test, and the dopaminergic lesion was determined by immunohistochemical analysis for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunopositive cells. The activity of antioxidant enzymes in the brain were determined by spectrophotometric assays and the concentration of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were measured as an index of oxidative damage. The number of apoptotic dopaminergic cells significantly increased in MPTP-treated mice compared to controls. Although DHA significantly diminished the number of cell deaths in MPTP-treated mice, it did not improve the decreased motor activity observed in the experimental PD model. Docosahexaenoic acid significantly diminished the amount of cell death in the MPTP + DHA group as compared to the MPTP group. TBARS levels in the brain were significantly increased following MPTP treatment. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) activities of brain were unaltered in all groups. The activity of brain superoxide dismutase (SOD) was decreased in the MPTP-treated group compared to the control group, but DHA treatment did not have an effect on SOD activity in the MPTP + DHA group. Our current data show that DHA treatment exerts neuroprotective actions on an experimental mouse model of PD. There was a decrease tendency in brain lipid oxidation of MPTP mice but it did not significantly. 相似文献
