摘要: The toxic effects of microcystin-LR, a cyclic heptapeptide isolated from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, were studied in fasted rat model and subcellular fractions fasted, toxin-treated control rats. Hepatotoxic lethal dose (100 micrograms/kg) examined 15-90 min post-injection. Elevations serum enzymes, particularly sorbitol dehydrogenase, specific for liver mitochondria, correlated with hepatic damage. Electron micrographs showed progressive cellular disruption, including dilation rough endoplasmic reticulum, incorporation components into cytolysosomes, hydropic mitochondria devoid electron-opaque deposits, loss desmosome-associated intermediate filaments, disruption sinusoidal architecture and, ultimately, lysis hepatocytes. appearance coupled electron transport. Changes plasma membrane-associated cytoskeletal filaments desmosome tonofilaments. In contrast to vivo exposure vitro toxin had no effect on or suggesting that observed indirect may be dependent bioactivation cascade events not supported models.
