Abstract |
Oral administration of ochratoxin A to young weanling mice (Mus musculus) caused several haematological changes and induced hepatoma and renal carcinoma. Concurrent administration of berry and leaf juice of the common grape (Vitis vinifera) to mice together with ochratoxin A significantly reduced the hepatic and renal damage caused by ingestion of this mycotoxin. None of the animals receiving berry/leaf juice of V. vinifera showed the formation of hepatorenal carcinoma whereas 25% of animals receiving only ochratoxin A developed well differentiated renal carcinoma and hepatic lesions.
