In the context of nephrotoxic risks associated with environmental contaminants, this study focused on the impact of mycotoxin exposure on the renal health of laying hens, with particular attention to oxidative stress pathways. Sixty laying hens were assigned to three groups-a control group (CON), a low-dose mycotoxin group (LOW), and a high-dose mycotoxin group (HIGH)-and monitored for 72 h. Mycotoxin contamination involved T-2/HT-2 toxin, DON/3-AcDON/15-AcDON, and FB1 at their EU-recommended levels (low mix) and at double doses (high mix). Clinical assessments revealed no signs of toxicity or notable weight changes. Analysis of the glutathione redox system parameters demonstrated that the reduced glutathione content was lower than that in the controls at 48 h and higher at 72 h. Glutathione peroxidase activity increased in response to mycotoxin exposure. In addition, the gene expression patterns of key redox-sensitive pathways, including Keap1-Nrf2-ARE and the AhR pathway, were examined. Notably, gene expression profiles revealed dynamic responses to mycotoxin exposure over time, underscoring the intricate interplay of redox-related mechanisms in the kidney. This study sheds light on the early effects of mycotoxin mixtures on laying hens' kidneys and their potential for oxidative stress.
