title: Comparative incidence of oral ochratoxicosis and aflatoxicosis on the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver.
abstract: Mycotoxicosis has been produced in the rat by daily oral administrations of ochratoxin A (1.5 mg/kg/day) or aflatoxin B1 (1 mg/kg/day). Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and b5 contents and many phase I and II biotransformation systems have been measured in the course of ochratoxicosis (4 to 15 dosings) and aflatoxicosis (1 to 8 dosings). In case of ochratoxicosis, decreases in cytochrome P-450 level, aminopyrine demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities were observed in rats receiving 15 administrations of the toxin. Aflatoxicosis induced more severe decreases in cytochrome P-450, aminopyrine demethylase and ethoxycoumarin deethylase following 8 daily gavages. In the two studies, there was no significant change in activities of liver phase II biotransformation enzymes.
