citrinin/diarrhea

Citrinin's nephrotoxicity was examined in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs under conditions that minimized or avoided significant changes in a number of its actions that could indirectly and adversely affect renal function and ultrastructure, such as, (i) major acute reductions in blood pressure and

Citrinin fed to mature laying hens at levels of 0, 50, and 250 mug/g. of diet for three weeks had no effect on body weight, feed consumption, egg production, egg weight or egg shell quality. A moderate diarrhea occurring about three days after feeding 250 mug. citrinin/g. of diet was observed.

The present study was designed to evaluate the acute effects of ochratoxin A (OA) on pullet renal function, and to determine if the diuretic effects of citrinin are altered by acute ochratoxicosis. Birds were injected intramuscularly with a 1-mg/mL solution of OA at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight for

Berberine, an alkaloid with both glucose- and cholesterol-lowering action, is also characterized by an anti-diarrheal effect. Consequently, berberine-based therapies are recommended for diabetic patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gut discomfort caused by metformin. As the anti-glycemic
