Weekley LB, Kimbrough TD, Llewellyn GC: Dietary aflatoxin and copper acetate effects on various blood parameters in rats. Drug Chem Toxicol. 1981;4(2):113-22.
The effects of copper acetate (CuAc) and aflatoxin (AFT) dietary supplements on serum vitamins A and E, albumin, cholesterol, and the formed elements of blood in male rats were investigated. The CuAc and AFT dietary supplements were 0.5% and 7.8 ppm respectively. Vitamins A and E, red blood cell count (RBC), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin content (MCHC) and hematocrit (Hct) were not significantly altered by either supplement while albumin and cholesterol was significantly elevated in groups receiving either CuAc or AFT. Serum hemoglobin (HBG) was depressed in animals receiving the AFT + CuAc supplement while the WBC count was depressed in both groups receiving CuAc while AFT had no effect. |
