The effect of the addition of aflatoxin B1 was studied in 48 male, Sprague-Dawley rats weaned at 21 days of age. The animals of the experimental group received one of the following diets to which aflatoxin B1 was added (5 mg/kg ration), a protein-free diet, the regional basic diet of Northeast Brazil (RBD) containing 9.07% protein, and commercial casein diets (at 10 and 20%). The control groups were fed the same diets without aflatoxin B1. To detect possible body alterations, the body weight and food intake, as well as protein and aflatoxin B1 intakes were recorded. Significant alterations were detected in the experimental groups, especially in the protein-depleted animals, and in those fed the RBD and 10% commercial casein diets, when compared to their controls.

D000348 Aflatoxins Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2. Aflatoxin
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016604 Aflatoxin B1 A potent hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin produced by the Aspergillus flavus group of fungi. It is also mutagenic, teratogenic, and causes immunosuppression in animals. It is found as a contaminant in peanuts, cottonseed meal, corn, and other grains. The mycotoxin requires epoxidation to aflatoxin B1 2,3-oxide for activation. Microsomal monooxygenases biotransform the toxin to the less toxic metabolites aflatoxin M1 and Q1.
