Not exact matches

Part of the reason farmers using Aflasafe are able to make money, however, is that they were included in an aggregation service that would collect their products and bring them to a market where buyers would pay top dollar for the low - aflatoxin product, Cardwell notes.

The question is whether the same low - protein diets that prevent the growth of pre-cancerous lesions once they are formed also increase the toxicity of aflatoxin and other harmful chemicals, decrease the capacity for tissue repair, increase the risk of dying from chemical overdose, and promote the formation of pre-cancerous lesions when these diets are fed to the rats of the same strain, sex, age, and protein requirements.

Under such conditions [wherein low - protein diets suppress the activity of detoxification enzymes], the parent compound AFB1 would accumulate to cause greater acute toxic effects, whereas less product (i.e., aflatoxin - DNA adducts) would accumulate to initiate carcinogenesis.

They carried on the experiment for two years, roughly a full lifetime for a lucky lab rat, but they stopped the aflatoxin after six months (when the rats were seven months old, and thus mature adults) because the low - protein rats were keeling over dead left and right:

In more realistic models where the rats were dosed with smaller (but still large) amounts of aflatoxin every day, the low - protein diets proved fatal, even in adulthood.

Mainigi and Campbell (1980) tried feeding 20 % casein and 5 % casein (5C) to rats, spiked with 5 parts per million (ppm) aflatoxin as a daily dose, but they had to feed the low - casein group only 2.5 ppm instead:

In contrast, animals initiated with a low - aflatoxin dose actually produced substantially more foci when subsequently fed the 20 % protein diet.

The results suggested that low doses of aflatoxin were both more toxic and more carcinogenic to monkeys fed low - protein diets.

Effect of Low Protein Diet on Low Dose Chronic Aflatoxin B1 Induced Hepatic Injury in Rhesus Monkeys.

We investigated this question by giving two groups of rats either a high - aflatoxin dose or a low - aflatoxin dose, along with a standard baseline diet.

Then, during the promotion phase, we fed a low - protein diet to the high - aflatoxin dose groups and a high - protein diet to the low - aflatoxin dose group.

In these studies, a chronic low dose of aflatoxin produced precancerous lesions in monkeys fed 5 % casein but not in those fed 20 % casein; a chronic medium dose saved the low - protein monkeys from precancerous lesions by — yup, you guessed it — killing them, while the high - protein monkeys suffered neither plight; and a chronic high dose was finally able to give the high - protein monkeys pre-cancerous lesions.

Effect of High and Low Dietary Protein on the Dosing and Postdosing Periods of Aflatoxin B1 - induced Hepatic Preneoplastic Lesion Development in the Rat.

Indeed, the researchers weren't pulling our legs: This study really did show that a low - protein diet was both more «cancer promoting» and more deadly than a high - protein diet when the dose of aflatoxin was lower.

The results of this earlier experiment were published in a paper called «Effect of Low Protein Diet on Low Dose Chronic Aflatoxin B1 Induced Hepatic Injury in Rhesus Monkeys» in 1989.

Monkeys on low protein diet [with 0.16 ppm aflatoxin] surviving for 90 weeks or more show foci of preneoplastic lesions, whereas those on high protein diet reveal no such alterations at the corresponding time interval.

The hepatic injury again is more accentuated in the low protein group as compared with the high protein group [with 0.5 ppm aflatoxin].

Chris Masterjohn has noted that in rats given a low dose of aflatoxin daily, after six months all rats on a 20 percent protein diet were still alive, but half the rats on a 5 percent protein diet had died.

In one intriguing paper titled «Effect of Low Protein Diet on Chronic Aflatoxin B1 - induced Liver Injury in Rhesus Monkeys,» the researchers describe something that undermines the conclusions Campbell drew from his own research.

The rats on the low - casein diet were more vulnerable to acute aflatoxin toxicity — they were more likely to die right away from aflatoxin poisoning than the high - casein rats.

The experiment carried on for two years, in fact, but they stopped adminstering aflatoxin at six months for the simple reason that half the animals on the low - protein diet had died.

All animals administered the same level of aflatoxin but fed the low 5 % protein diet were alive, active and thrifty, with sleek hair coats at 100 weeks.

Alas, we find that these low - protein diets made the rats eat less food, fail to grow, and unable to efficiently detoxify aflatoxin and a multitude of other toxins.

Campbell had conducted research showing that low - protein diets suppress the enzymatic detoxification of aflatoxin.

But the increased susceptibility of rats fed low - protein diets to environmental toxins doesn't stop at aflatoxin.

Campbell's Fisher 344 rats still showed much greater vulnerability to aflatoxin toxicity on a low - protein diet.

Inhibition of aflatoxin B1 - induced gamma - glutamyltranspeptidase positive (GGT +) hepatic preneoplastic foci and tumors by low protein diets: evidence that altered GGT + foci indicate neoplastic potential.

1983 May; 43 (5): 2150 - 4 Effect of high and low dietary protein on the dosing and postdosing periods of aflatoxin B1 - induced hepatic preneoplastic lesion development in the rat)

Campbell and K. D. Mainigi fed rats high - and low - protein diets with or without aflatoxin.

One exception I think was the use in one study of 5ppm aflatoxin for high - casein and 2.5 ppm aflatoxin for low - casein rather than just using 2.5 ppm for both groups so the low - casein rats wouldn't die.

Campbell never tells us, however, that these Indian researchers actually published this paper as part of a two - paper set, one showing that low - casein diets make aflatoxin much more acutely toxic to rats (1), and the other showing that these same diets make aflatoxin much less carcinogenic (2).

Aflatoxin proved lethal to Fisher 344 rats fed low - protein diets when rats fed high - protein diets were immune to the same doses (4).

«Effect of low protein diet on low dose chronic aflatoxin B1 induced hepatic injury in rhesus monkeys.»

More clues for understanding the casein - cancer research come from another Indian study — this one published in the late 1980s, and examining the effects of protein in aflatoxin - exposed monkeys instead of rats.14 As with Campbell's experiments, the monkeys were fed diets containing either 5 percent or 20 percent casein, but with one important difference: instead of being slammed with an astronomically (and unrealistically) high dose of aflatoxin, the monkeys were exposed to lower, daily doses — mimicking a real - world situation where aflatoxin is consumed frequently in small amounts from contaminated foods.

When the aflatoxin dose is more moderate, animals eating a low - protein diet develop cancer while their higher - protein counterparts remain in mighty fine health.

Far better choices are widely and affordably available that are much lower in inflammatory omega - 6 fats without risk from aflatoxins and lectins.

And one of the things that has come out from my work is that we're doing more harm to ourselves than we recognize by consuming aflatoxin, ochratoxin and some of the other common mycotoxins in our food supply at levels that are some sometimes considered safe and that by lowering those like making better choices like not eating something as simple as raisins.

Chronic, low - dose exposures to aflatoxin can suppress the immune system and cause cancer.

High calcium levels, high vitamin D, low vitamin A, dietary protein levels and even aflatoxin ingestion can all slowly work together to damage your bird's kidneys.
