M. Sabino et al., AFLATOXINS B-1,M(1) AND AFLATOXICOL IN TISSUES AND URINE OF CALVES RECEIVING AFLATOXIN, Food additives and contaminants, 12(3), 1995, pp. 467-472
Liver and kidney tissues and urine from calves chronically or acutely
intoxicated by aflatoxin were surveyed to detect the presence of aflat
oxins B-1, M(1) (AFB(1), AFM(1)) and aflatoxicol (AFL). Aflatoxins B-1
, M(1), and aflatoxicol were not found in the liver, kidney or urine f
rom animals intoxicated by chronic forms. However in a calf that recei
ved a single dose of 0.8 mg of AFB(1)/kg of live weight and one submit
ted to a single dose of 1.8 mg of AFB(1)/kg of live weight detectable
levels of aflatoxins occurred in tissues and urine.
