## Abstract In earlier work we have reported that garlic and cabbage extracts can protect laboratory animals from the toxic effects of different mycotoxins. Previous research demonstrated that fumonisin (FB) induced developmental effects in mice, rats and hamsters. The objectives of the present stu

โฆ Synopsis
l-Methionine was found to inhibit the developmental toxicity induced by ochratoxin A (OA) in pregnant female rats. The fetuses had significantly lower weights. Dams and fetuses treated with OA had visceral and skeletal anomalies, while combined treatment with l-methionine and OA showed no significant changes when compared to the control. Histopathological examinations revealed that OA caused alterations in liver, kidney and vagina of pregnant rats, whereas methionine supplementation provided partial protection for renal and liver tissue.

Pregnant rats were treated with a single intravenous or oral administration of indium chloride (InCl 3 ) on day 9 of pregnancy and their fetuses were examined for growth and malformation on day 20 of pregnancy. By intravenous administration, fetal weight was significantly decreased and the incidence
Isolated rat hepatocyte couplets were used to study the effect of S-adenosyl-L methionine (SAMe) treatment on disruption of canalicular function caused by cyclosporin A (CyA). Canalicular function was assessed by counting the percentage of couplets that were able to accumulate the fluorescent cholep
