Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective efficacy of L-carnitine administration in the prevention of toxic effects of experimental chronic aflatoxicosis. A total of 80 and eight weeks old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were used in this experiment. They were divided into one control and three treatment group each containing 20 quails &#1048576;group II L-carnitine 200 mg/l via drinking water, group III aflatoxin (AF) 60 &#956;g/kg feed, group IV AF (60 &#956;g/kg feed) plus L-carnitine (200 mg/l via drinking water)&#1048576;. The experimental period lasted 60 days. Control group was fed with unsupplemented basal diet and water. The low dose of AF (60 &#956;g/kg feed) significantly increased the level of total bilirubin (p<0.001) and AST enzyme activity (p<0.001); and significantly decreased the levels of glucose (p<0.05), total cholesterol (p<0.05), VLDL (p<0.001), triglyceride (p<0.001), albumin (p<0.001) and calcium (p<0.001). The low dose of AF (60 &#956;g/kg feed) significantly decreased the count of PCV (p<0.01) and RBC (p<0.001) and significantly prolonged the coagulation time (p<0.001) when compared with control group. AST enzyme activity and bilirubin concentrations statistically decreased in AF+L-carnitine (group IV) when compared to AF (group III) (p<0.001) while glucose (p<0.05), albumin (p<0.001) haemotocrit (p<0.01) and RBC (p<0.001) increased and coagulation time shortened (p<0.001). L-carnitine supplementation was shown to partially protect on glucose, albumin, bilirubin concentrations, RBC and coagulation time and to fully protect haemotocrit level and AST enzyme activity against adverse effect of AF. It is concluded that the supplementation of the low dose AF (60 &#956;g/kg feed) had significantly alterations and toxic effects on pathological, biochemical and haematological parameters and L-carnitine administration (200 mg/l via drinking water) had partial protective effect against the toxic effects of AF on pathological, biochemical and haematological parameters of quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) during experimental chronic aflatoxicosis.

Özet

Bu çalışma, bıldırcın yemlerine aflatoksin (AF) (60 μg/kg yem) ilavesiyle deneysel olarak oluşturulan kronik aflatoksikoziste, içme suyuna 200 mg/l dozda L-karnitin verilmesinin etkilerinin araştırılması amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırmada 8 haftalık yaşta 80 adet bıldırcın kullanıldı. Hayvanlar dört eşit gruba (n=20) ayrıldı. Grup II’teki hayvanlara 200 mg/l içme suyu dozunda L-karnitin (Carbitol, DİF-İstanbul), grup III’teki hayvanlara 60 μg/kg yem dozunda AF yeme katılarak ve grup IV’teki hayvanlara 60 μg/kg yem dozunda AF ile 200 mg/l içme suyu dozunda Lkarnitin oral olarak 60 gün boyunca verildi. Yemlere düşük düzeyde AF (60 μg/kg yem) ilavesinin toplam bilirubin düzeyleri (p<0.001) ile AST enzim aktivitelerinde önemli (p<0.001) bir artışa neden olduğu; glikoz (p<0.05), toplam kolesterol (p<0.05), VLDL (p<0.001), trigliserit (p<0.001), albümin (p<0.001) ve kalsiyum (p<0.001) değerlerinde ise kontrol grubuna kıyasla önemli düşüşler olduğu belirlendi. Yeme katılan AF’nin (60 ppb) koagulasyon zamanında anlamlı derecede uzamalar (p<0.001) ile PCV (p<0.01) ve RBC (p<0.001) değerlerinde ise anlamlı düşüşlere neden olduğu tespit edildi. AF+L-karnitin (grup IV) verilen grupta yalnızca AF (grup III) verilen gruba göre istatistik olarak AST enzim aktiviteleri (p<0.001) ve toplam bilirubin düzeylerinde (p<0.001) önemli düşüşler ile glikoz (p<0.05), albümin (p<0.001), hematokrit değerleri (p<0.01) ve eritrosit sayısında (p<0.001) önemli artışlar belirlenirken, pıhtılaşma zamanında ise önemli bir kısalma (p<0.001) tespit edildi. Çalışmada L-karnitin ilavesinin, glikoz, toplam bilirubin, albümin düzeyleri, eritrosit sayısı ve koagulasyon zamanı üzerinde AF’nin olumsuz etkilerini kısmen önlediği, AST enzim aktivitesi ve hematokrit değer üzerinde ise bu koruyucu etkinin tam olarak ortaya çıktığı gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, yemlere düşük düzeyde AF (60 ppb) ilavesinin hayvanlarda biyokimyasal ve hematolojik değerler üzerine önemli etkilere sahip olduğu, 60 ppb düzeyinde AF ile 200 mg/l içme suyu dozunda L-karnitinin birlikte verilmesinin AF’nin biyokimyasal ve hematolojik toksik etkilerini kısmen engelleyerek AF nedeniyle oluşan değişiklikleri olumlu yönde etkilediği ortaya konuldu. Buradan hareketle, kanatlı yemlerindeki AF kontaminasyonunda içme suyuna L-karnitin ilavesinin önemli bir koruyucu role sahip olabileceği kanısına varıldı.
