Abstract

Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of highly toxic mycotoxins mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which are considered natural contaminants of food and feed toxic to the liver, carcinogens and mutagenic. Therefore, reducing their toxicity in the body of the organism is a great importance. In this study, the aqueous extract of leaves was evaluated (green Tea and sage) to reduce the toxicity caused by aflatoxins. Two concentrations of aflatoxins (0.5 and 1 mg / kg of b.w) were taken per week for 42 days, which led to a deterioration of liver and kidney function and the level of lipid and glucose in the plasma of the treated rats. In the laboratory experiment, the aqueous extract of the plants used greatly improved these traits’ after they were taken daily in concentrations (200-400 mg / kg of b.w) for a period of 42 days. Thus, it can be concluded that green tea and sage showed protective effect against aflatoxin toxicity.
