Toxicité de l'hexachlorobenzène chez Meriones unguiculatus : effets sur la thyroïde et le foie

Abstract: L'effet de l'hexachlorobenzene (HCB) sur la fonction hépatique et thyroïdienne a été recherché chez Mériones unguiculatus. Quatre lots d'animaux ont été gavés avec 0, 1,6, 4 et 16 mg/kg/j de HCB pendant 30 j. Le HCB n'a pas d'effet sur le poids corporel. Cependant, il entraîne chez les animaux des deux sexes une hypertrophie hépatique très accentuée, particulièrement chez les animaux traités par la plus forte dose. Des modifications de l'architecture hépatique sont également observées. Une nécrose cellulaire a… Show more

“…Time-course of these hormones showed consistent changes as early as 21 days after administration of HCB at a dose of 16 mg/kg b.w. Our results were in agreement with a previous report of our laboratory experiment showing that the subchronic exposures to HCB cause hypothyroxinemia in male Meriones unguiculatus rodents (Bitri et al, 2007). Hadjab et al (2004) showed a dose-dependent decrease in TT 4 after 2 weeks of treatment.…”

“…Concerning the effects of organochlorine compound on T 3 , the most potent thyroid hormone, the observations are less consistent than those of T 4 . Indeed, several investigators have observed no significant changes in TT 3 levels after exposure of male rats to HCB (Alvarez et al, 2005;Bitri et al, 2007;Hadjab et al, 2004), to tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (Jones et al, 1987) and to PCBs (Corey et al, 1996), while other data have reported an increase (Wade et al, 2002) or a decrease (Vansell et al, 2004). In our study, there was no change in the plasma TT 3 when rats were treated with HCB.…”

“…In conclusion, these results supplement and confirm the sensitivity of Meriones unguiculatus to the toxic effect of the HCB. Previously, we demonstrated that weak amounts of this pesticide affect the liver and thyroid functions with sex-dependent differences in the plasmatic rates of TT4 and TT3 [12]. The present study highlights the gonadotoxic effect of hexachlorobenzene in male meriones; the impact of this toxicity on the fertility and consequently on the perpetuity of this species could result in regarding this animal as a 'sentry-animal' with respect to the environmental pollutants.…”
