Efficacy of silymarin-phospholipid complex in reducing the toxicity of aflatoxin B1 in broiler chicks

Abstract: Silymarin, the standardized extract of Silybum marianum, is used as a hepatoprotector in man, and is a potent antihepatotoxic agent. This study focused on the effects of a silymarin-phospholipid complex in reducing the toxic effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in broiler chickens. Twenty-one 14-d-old male commercial broilers were randomly allotted to 3 groups and treated as follows: basal diet alone [Group C (Control)]; AFB1 at 0.8 mg/kg of feed [Group B1]; AFB1 at 0.8 mg/kg of feed plus silymarin phytosome, a sily… Show more

“…[9][10][11][12] There are many of the herbal products and their derived constituents present in the market are: Lovastatin (anticholesterolemic), [13] paclitaxol, doxorubicin (both anticancer drugs), cyclosporine-A and tacrolimus (both immunosuppressive), [14,15] erythromycin, streptomycin, rafamycin (all antibiotics), and amphotericin-B (fungicidal). Actually, with respect to the conventional pharmaceuticals, these drugs have their existence from natural remedies.…”

“…Many studies have shown that AFB 1 exposure can lead to a reduction in weight gain in broiler chicks in a dose-and time-dependent manner (Valdivia et al, 2001;Tedesco et al, 2004;Zhao et al, 2010;Peng et al, 2014b;Fowler et al, 2015). Diaz et al (2008) proposed a biphasic nature (hormesis) of aflatoxins on the broiler's weight gain, i.e.…”

“…e. The phytosomes from standardized extract of seeds of S. marianum have administered orally which is having great effect on foetus from maternally ingested alcohol [64]. f. One clinical research reveals that the study of 232 patient with chronic hepatitis when treated with silybin phytosome at a dose of 120 mg twice or thrice a day up to 120 days having great role for recovery of liver function [63]. g. Grape seed phytosome also having great role in ischemia induced damage in the heart, also having protective against atherosclerosis.…”
