As duas espécies tiveram suas frações alcalóidicas obtidas por extração ácido-base. A análise por CG-EM e ESI-EM/EM indicou a presença de alcaloides pirrolizidínicos (APs) e as substâncias purificadas foram analizadas por experimentos de RMN de 1D e 2D. Um total de 10 alcaloides foram isoladas e identificadas, sendo que 8 identificadas através da comparação de suas massas moleculares e padrões de fragmentação de massas, com a base de dados NIST e os dados da litratura para o género. Os diésteres hepatotóxicos equimidana e 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina foram identificadas em ambas as espécies. Os alcaloides 7-senecioilretronecina, 9-angeloilretronecina, licopsamina, 7-acetil-licopsamina e equihumilina foram identificados nas folhas de E. hypertropicum, enquanto que o N-óxido da 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina foi identificado nas folhas de E. stenosipnhon. A equimidina foi o componente majoritário na fração em éter dietílico das folhas de E. hypertropicum, enquanto a 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina foi o componente majoritário na fração em diclorometano das folhas de E. stenosiphon. O alcaloide 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina N-óxido foi identificado pela primeira vez no gênero Echium. Em adição, 22 componentes de óleo essencial foram identificadas nas flores de Echium hypertropicum, sendo trans-fitol (30,64 %), n-pentacosano (8,28 %) e n-tricosano (6,73) como componentes majoritários. O triterpeno friedelina foi também isolado das folhas de E. hypertropicum. Na avaliação da atividade antibacteriana, os extratos etanólicos das duas espécies vegetais e o alcaloide 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina foram capazes de inibir o crescimento de Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 com CMI de 250,0 μg/mL e 25,0 μg/mL, respectivamente. A atividade anticolinesterásica foi avaliada e a equimidina foi capaz de inibir a enzima acetilcolinesterase nas concentrações testadas com o valor de P = 0,0011. O alcaloide 7-(2-metilbutiril)-9-equimidinilretronecina retardou o crescimento do fitófago Dysdercus peruvianus na concentração de 1mg/mL. Os extratos etanólicos de E. hypertropicum e E. stenosiphon (3,9 μg/mL) foram avaliados frente ao vírus HSV. O extrato etanólico de E. hypertropicum apresentou uma porcentagem de inibição (PI) de 27,5% contra HSV-1S e 43,8% contra HSV-2S. Apresentaram ainda elevada citotoxidade para as celulas Vero, utilizadas como sistema hospedeiro (CC50 de 140,10 μg/mL e 96,86 μg/mL). A composição química e as atividades biológicas de E. hypertropicum e E. stenosiphon subsp. stenosiphon foram relatadas pela primeira vez. As substâncias identificadas podem ser utilizadas no futuro como marcadores quimiotaxonômicos para o gênero Echium / Echium hypertropicum Webb and Echium stenosiphon Webb subsp. stenosiphon are endemic capeverdian shrubs used in folk medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and cough, respectively. The two species had their alkaloidal fractions obtained by acid-base extraction. GC-MS and ESI-MS/MS analysis indicated the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and purified substances were also analyzed by 1D and 2D NMR experiments. A total of 10 alkaloids were isolated and identified, which 8 were identified by comparing their molecular masses and mass fragmentation patterns with NIST database and literature data for the genus. The hepatotoxic diesters echimidine and 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-echimidinylretronecine were identified in both species. The alkaloids 7-senecioylretronecine, 9-angeloylretronecine, lycopsamine, 7-acetil-lycopsamine and echihumiline were identified in the leaves of E. hypertropicum, whereas the 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-equimidinylretronecine N-oxide was identified in the leaves of E. Stenosipnhon. Echimidine was the major component in the diethyl ether fraction from leaves of E. hypertropicum, whereas the 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-echimidinylretronecine was the major component in dichloromethane fraction from leaves of E. stenosiphon. The alkaloid 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-echimidinylretronecine N-oxide was identified for the first time in Echium genus. In addition, 22 essential oil components were identified in E. hypertropicum flowers, with trans-phytol (30.64%), n-pentacosane (8.28%) and n-tricosane (6.73%) as the major components. The triterpene friedelin was also isolated from E. hypertropicum leaves. The antimicrobial susceptibility tested with the ethanolic extract and the alkaloid 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-equimidinilretronecine against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 showed a MIC of 250.0 μg/mL and 25.0 μg/mL, respectively. The anticholinesterasic activity was evaluated and echimidine was able to inhibit the enzyme at the concentrations tested with p value = 0.0011. The alkaloid 7-(2-methylbutyryl)-9-equimidinilretronecine retarded the growth of phytophagous Dysdercus peruvianus at the concentration of 1mg/mL. For the antiviral activity, the ethanolic extracts from E. hypertropicum and E. stenosiphon (3.9 μg/mL) were analyzed against HSV. The ethanolic extract of E. hypertropicum showed an inhibition percentage (IP) of 27.5% against HSV-1S and 43.8% against HSV-2S. Also showed high cytotoxicity for the Vero cells, used as host for the herpesvirus (CC50 140.10 μg/mL and 96.86 μg/mL). The chemical composition and biological activities of the leaves and flowers of E. hypertropicum and E. stenosiphon subsp. stenosiphon are reported for the first time. The identified pyrrolizidine alkaloids could be used in future as chemotaxonomic markers for Echium genus

Vers une valorisation industrielle d’un remède traditionnel pour le traitement des intoxications ciguatériques / To industrial development of a traditional remedy for the treatment of ciguatera fish poisoningRossi, Fanny 23 April 2014 (has links)
Malgré leur existence ancienne et leur incidence dans la zone intertropicale, aucun traitement efficace, autre que symptomatique, n’est disponible à l’heure actuelle pour traiter les intoxications ciguatériques. La médecine traditionnelle à base de plantes vient alors au secours des populations. Dans la région du Pacifique, une des plantes les plus utilisées, et présentant des potentialités dans le traitement de la ciguatéra, est Heliotropium foertherianum Diane & Hilger. Toutefois, cette plante, de la famille des Borraginacées, est connue pour produire des alcaloïdes pyrrolizidiniques, composés hépatotoxiques. Dans ce travail, l’activité biologique sur cellules neuronales et la composition chimique d’H. foertherianum ont été étudiées, en vue d’une valorisation d’un extrait de cette plante. Dans un premier temps, la confirmation de l’activité biologique in vitro de l’extrait aqueux d’H. foertherianum et de ses principes actifs, les acides rosmarinique et caféique, a été apportée. Ensuite, la caractérisation chimique de l’extrait aqueux par CLHP-SM a mené à l’identification potentielle de 25 composés et à la vérification de l’absence des alcaloïdes pyrrolizidiniques. Enfin, l’étude des paramètres de récolte, de conservation et d’extraction des feuilles et extraits a permis de détailler les conditions nécessaires à l’obtention d’un extrait à la teneur maximale en principes actifs dont l’activité biologique serait garantie. Ainsi, la production locale d’un extrait d’H. foertherianum, dosé en principes actifs et dont l’innocuité est vérifiée, en tant que traitement contre les intoxications ciguatériques peut être sérieusement envisagée. / Despite its former existence and its impact in the intertropical zone, no effective treatment, other than symptomatic, is available to treat ciguatera fish poisoning yet. People can only rely on traditional herbal medicine. In the Pacific region, one of the most used plants, which is promising for the treatment of ciguatera fish poisoning, is Heliotropium foertherianum Diane & Hilger. However, this plant, from the Boraginaceae family, is known for producing hepatotoxic compounds such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids. In order to valorize this plant extract, its biological activity on neuronal cells and its chemical composition with the means of HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS have been studied in this work. First, the in vitro biological activity of the aqueous extract of H. foertherianum and its active principles, rosmarinic and caffeic acids, was confirmed. Then the chemical characterization of the aqueous extract led to the possible identification of 25 compounds and the verification of the absence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Finally, the study of the harvest, conservation and extraction parameters of leaves and extracts permits to specify the conditions needed for obtaining an extract with high level of active principles and whose biological activity is guaranteed. Therefore, a local production of an extract from H. foertherianum as a treatment against ciguatera fish poisoning, dosed in active principles and whose safety is established, can be seriously considered.

Avaliação imunotóxica e de imunoteratologia de Senecio brasiliensis: estudo em ratos / Evaluation of immunotoxic and immunoteratogenic properties of Senecio brasiliensis: study in rats.Elias, Fabiana 06 January 2012 (has links)
O presente estudo visou avaliar os possiveis efeitos imunotóxicos e imunoteratogênicos da integerrimina N-óxido presente no resíduo butanólico (RB) do ,Senecio brasiliensis, uma planta hepatotóxica que contém alcalóides pirrolizidínicos (APs). Tem sido relatado o uso de APs como fitoterápicos em todo o mundo e também como contaminantes de pastagens e alimentos, sendo assim responsáveis por intoxicações em animais de produção e humanos; porém, até o momento, não há relatos de sua ação sobre o sistema imune. Assim, após a extração da planta, quantificou-se no RB de Senecio brasiliensis, por meio de análise elementar e de espectro (1H e 13C), cerca de 70% de integerrimina N-óxido. O RB foi administrado a ratos Wistar machos adultos, nas doses de 3, 6 e 9 mg/kg, por gavagem, durante 28 dias. Foram avaliados o ganho de peso, o consumo de alimento, os órgãos linfóides e a fenotipagem de sua células, a atividade de fagócitos, as respostas imunes humoral e celular e atividade proliferativa de linfócitos. Já ratas gestantes, receberam as mesmas doses do RB do 6º ao 20º dia de gestação. No final da gestação, parte das fêmeas foi destinada à cesariana e as restantes prosseguiram à termo até o nascimento, para a análise das proles aos 60 dias de idade. Os fetos provenientes da cesariana foram avaliados quanto ao tamanho, peso, viabilidade e malformações externas e também submetidos à análise óssea. As mães tiveram seu desempenho reprodutivo avaliado. Naquelas proles avaliadas até 60 dias de idade, procedeu-se a avaliação dos órgãos linfóides e dos parâmetros hematológicos. O presente estudo revelou que integerrimina N-óxido promoveu diminuição no ganho de peso corporal de ratos machos adultos, redução na atividade proliferativa das células T e interfência na contagem de células sanguíneas destes animais. Por outro lado, esses mesmos animais não apresentaram diferenças na atividade de fagócitos, na fenotipagem de linfócitos e nas respostas imunes estudadas. Em ratas gestantes, o RB causou hepatotoxidade, diminuição do ganho de peso materno, diminuição no tamanho das placentas. A análise fetal revelou menor ossificação. Quando da avaliação da prole aos 60 dias de idade, não foram observados efeitos no ganho de peso atribuídos ao RB, nos órgãos linfóides, e também parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos. Concluindo, os estudos aqui realizados permitem sugerir que as doses baixas de integerrimina N-óxido ora empregadas, não promovem efeitos imunotóxicos significantes, bem como não apresentaram potencial teratogênico, seja por meio das avaliações clássicas de teratologia quanto naqueles protocolos de imunoteratogenicidade. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible immunotoxic and immunoteratogenic effects of integerrimine N-oxide content in the butanolic residue (BR) of Senecio brasiliensis, a hepatotoxic plant that contained pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). PAs have been reported as a pasture and food contaminant and as herbal medicine used worldwide and are related to promote poisoning events in livestock and human beings. After the plant extraction, BR residue from Senecio brasiliensis was submitted to elemental and spectral analyses (1H and 13C ) and was found to contain approximately 70% of integerrimine N-oxide by, which was administered to adult male Wistar rats at doses of 3, 6 and 9 mg/kg for 28 days, by gavage. Body weight gain, food consumption, lymphoid organs and their cell phenotype, phagocyte analysis, humoural and cellular immune responses, and lymphocyte proliferation were evaluated. In addition, pregnant rats received the same doses of BR from the 6th to the 20th gestational day. In late pregnancy, some of the dams were destined for cesarean section and the other females followed the pregnancy until the birth for offspring analysis at 60 days old. Fetuses from cesarean section were evaluated for size, weight, viability and external malformations and also subjected to bone analysis. The reproductive performance of females were performed. The present study showed that integerrimine N-oxide could promote in adult male Wistar rats, body weight gain impairment, interference with blood cell counts and a reducing T cell proliferative; however, no differences in phagocyte activities, lymphocytes phenotyping and immune responses here evaluated were observed. In pregnant rats, BR caused hepatotoxicity, decreased body weight gain and reduced placental size. Fetus analysis showed lower ossification. When 60-days old offspring were it was not observed any toxic effects resulted from BR exposition in body weight gain, lymphoid organs, haematological and biochemical parameters of these rats. It is concluded that low doses of integerrimine N-oxide here employed did not produce marked immunotoxic effects and seems to be a teratogenic signs by both methods, the classical evaluations or by immunoteratological protocols.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-20 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Senecio oleosus is a plant of Astereacea family found in the South and Southeast of Brazil. Species of this genus are recognized to produce liver damage in different animal species, including in human. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of S. oleosus in poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus). Green leaves of S. oleosus were collected in the city of Ponte Alta/SC, dried in the shadow, crushed, mixed with feed and fed to four groups of 10 broilers. Group 1 and Group 2 received single doses of 5g/kg and 20g/kg, respectively. Group 3 were given daily doses of 1g/kg for 20 days (amounts corresponding to green plant) and Group 4 (Control) received feed free of S. oleosus. Five broilers from each group were necropsied 30 days after the beginning of the experiment and the five remaining broilers were necropsied 60 days after the start of supply with the plant. Group 1 showed no gross and microscopic changes. In Groups 2 and 3 were observed yellowish color and increase in the volume of the liver, ascites and, microscopically, there was hepatotocyte vacuolation and megalocytosis, fibrosis and biliary epithelium hyperplasia / Senecio oleosus é uma planta da Família Asteraceae encontrada nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. Plantas desse gênero são conhecidas por produzirem lesões hepáticas em diferentes espécies de animais, inclusive no homem. Para avaliar a toxicidade do S. oleosus foram conduzidos experimentos em aves (Gallus gallus domesticus). Folhas verdes de S. oleosus foram coletadas no município de Ponte Alta/SC, secadas a sombra, trituradas, misturadas a ração e fornecidas para quatro grupos de 10 frangos de corte. O Grupo 1 e o Grupo 2 receberam doses únicas de 5g/kg e 20g/kg, respectivamente. Ao Grupo 3 foram fornecidas doses diárias de 1g/kg por 20 dias (valores correspondentes a planta verde) e o Grupo Controle recebeu ração livre de S. oleosus. Cincos frangos de cada grupo foram submetidos à necropsia aos 30 dias do início do experimento e os cinco restantes foram submetidos a necropsia aos 60 dias após o início do fornecimento da planta. As aves do Grupo 1 não apresentaram alterações macro e microscópicas. Na necropsia das aves dos Grupos 2 e 3 foi encontrado principalmente aumento de volume e coloração amarela do fígado e ascite. À microscopia foi observado megalocitose, vacuolização de hepatócitos, fibrose e hiperplasia de epitélio biliar

Erzeugung von Symphytum-Haarwurzelkulturen mit verringerter Alkaloidbiosynthese zur Produktion bioaktiver MetaboliteLippert, Annemarie 07 August 2019 (has links)
Beinwell enthält neben erwünschten Substanzen wie Allantion und Rosmarinsäure auch toxische Pyrrolizidinalkaloide (PA), die die Anwendung limitieren. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die Expression des Gens für Homospermidinsynthase, ein zentrales Enzym der Biosynthese von PA, stark zu verringern. Dafür wurden künstliche microRNA verwendet. Dabei wurden Haarwurzelkulturen mit entsprechenden Transgenen erzeugt.

ASPECTOS CLÍNICOS E PATOLÓGICOS DA INTOXICAÇÃO ESPONTÂNEA POR SENECIO SPP. EM RUMINANTES NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL / CLINICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CHRONIC SENECIO SPP. POISONING IN RUMINANTS IN RIO GRANDE DO SULGiaretta, Paula Roberta 18 December 2014 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / During 36 months a study was conducted in beef cattle farms in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil to survey outbreaks of Senecio spp. poisoning. The first part of this dissertation reports an outbreak of Senecio brasiliensis poisoning in cows where the main clinical sign was photosensitization. Adult cows that were placed during six months in a 205-hectare pasture heavily infested by Senecio brasiliensis were affected in September, 2013. Photosensitization was seen in 83 out 162 cows. Liver biopsy was performed in all cows under risk and three cows were necropsied. Histopathological findings in the liver related to pyrrolizidine alkaloids toxicosis consisted of fibrosis, megalocytosis and biliary ductal proliferation and were present in 119 of the biopsied cows. Six tested cows had increased serum activity of gamma glutamyl transferase. In the second part of this dissertation, a study of an outbreak of seneciosis in sheep in 2014 is reported. Morphological aspects considered important for the establishment of diagnosis in this species were stressed. Ten out of 860 adult sheep with clinical signs of seneciosis died spontaneously and eight sick ewes were euthanized and necropsied. Clinical signs included weight loss, apathy and photosensitization. Four out of seven tested sheep presented increased serum levels of gamma glutamil transferase and two had elevated alkaline phosphatase serum activity. At necropsy, three out of eight ewes presented slightly irregular toughened livers with multifocal nodules, two out of eight ewes had a whitish liver with thickened fibrotic Glisson s capsule partially adhered to the diaphragm, and three out of eight ewes had smooth and grossly normal livers. Histologically, the main hepatic findings that allowed for the establishment of the diagnosis were megalocytosis, proliferation of bile ducts and fibrosis. Spongy degeneration was observed in the brains of all eight necropsied sheep and was more severe at the cerebellar peduncles, mesencephalon, thalamus, and pons. These are suggested as the portions of election to investigate microscopic lesions of hepatic encephalopathy in sheep with chronic seneciosis. / Durante um período de 24 meses foram realizadas visitas periódicas a propriedades de bovinocultura de corte no Rio Grande do Sul, onde havia a suspeita de intoxicação por Senecio spp. Na primeira parte desta dissertação, relata-se a ocorrência de um surto de intoxicação natural por Senecio brasiliensis em bovinos em que o principal sinal clínico observado foi fotossensibilização. O surto ocorreu em setembro de 2013, acometendo vacas adultas que permaneceram durante os seis meses anteriores em um campo de 205 hectares com abundante infestação por Senecio brasiliensis. Fotossensibilização foi observada em 83 vacas de um total de 162 (51,3%). Realizou-se biópsia hepática em todas as vacas do rebanho e três vacas doentes foram necropsiadas. Os principais achados histopatológicos decorrentes de intoxicação por Senecio brasiliensis nos bovinos biopsiados foram fibrose hepática, megalocitose e proliferação de ductos biliares, observados em 119 animais. Seis vacas testadas apresentaram aumento da atividade sérica da gama glutamil transferase. Na segunda parte da dissertação, foi realizado um estudo de um surto de intoxicação por Senecio spp. em ovinos em 2014, dando-se ênfase aos aspectos morfológicos para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico da intoxicação nessa espécie. Dez ovelhas adultas de um rebanho de 860 ovinos morreram com sinais da doença e oito que estavam doentes foram eutanasiadas e necropsiadas. Os sinais clínicos incluíam emagrecimento, apatia e fotossensibilização. Quatro ovelhas, de um total de sete que foram testadas, apresentaram aumento da atividade sérica da gama glutamil transferase e duas apresentaram fosfatase alcalina sérica elevada. Na necropsia, em três dos oito ovinos necropsiados, o fígado estava levemente mais firme, com superfície capsular ligeiramente irregular e com nódulos pálidos na superfície de corte. Em outros três ovinos o fígado era macroscopicamente normal. Em dois dos oito ovinos necropsiados a cápsula de Glisson era brancacenta devido à fibrose, e parcialmente aderida ao diafragma. Histologicamente, as principais alterações observadas, que contribuíram para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico de intoxicação crônica por alcaloides pirrolizidínicos nas ovelhas deste surto foram hepatomegalocitose, proliferação de ductos biliares e fibrose. Todas as ovelhas apresentavam degeneração esponjosa grave no cerebelo e pedúnculos cerebelares, ponte, mesencéfalo e tálamo. Sugere-se que esses sejam os sítios anatômicos de eleição no encéfalo para a observação dessa lesão em ovinos com intoxicação por Senecio spp.

Previous issue date: 2016-07-29 / Capes / Crotalaria lanceolata E. Mey. and Crotalaria pallida Aiton. are leguminous found in most of brazilian territory. It were initially used as green manure and due its easy spread now are considered crops invasive. Soybean and corn contamination can occur through the mechanical harvesting of these grains with the seed of Crotalaria spp. species and enter the production animals feed formulation. This genus has pyrrolizidine alkaloids of toxic action. Most species of plants of the genus can cause acute or chronic liver injury. Broiler chickens of one day and with 28 days of age were housed in the experimental aviary located at the Poultry Department of CAV/UDESC. The broilers were divided into Group I (C. pallida seeds), Group II (C. lanceolata seeds) and control group. The Groups I and II were divided into five subgroups, each one with eight chickens, which received, from the seventh day of age, seeds at continual doses of 0,4%, 0,8% and 2,5%, and single doses of 15% and 25% in feed. Four broiler were sacrificed at 28 days old in each group, completing 21 days of seeds consumption, and the four remaining at 42 days old, completing 35 days of seeds consumption. Experiments were also conducted with seeds of both plants in 28 days old broiler, which were divided into five groups with four animals each group, to receive for twenty days the doses of 1% and 2% C. pallida and C. lanceolata seeds in feed, respectively. Broiler were sacrificed when they were 80 days old. C. lanceolata seeds showed higher toxicity for broilers than C. pallida seeds both supplied from the seventh day of bird life. Clinical signs
were inappetence, ruffled feathers and brown diarrhea. Macroscopically observed subcutaneous oedema, ascites, hydropericardium, yellowish liver with hypertrophy, or atrophy, pattern lobular evidenciation distended gallbladder. Histological lesions were present in most birds and is characterized by swelling and vacuolar degeneration of hepatocytes. The broiler which showed clinical and macroscopic lesions, had megalocytosis, karyomegaly, biliary epithelial hyperplasia, slight, eosinophilic spheroids and nuclear invagination with loss of hepatocyte cords architecture / Crotalaria lanceolata e Crotalaria pallida são leguminosas presentes na maioria do território brasileiro. Inicialmente foram utilizadas como adubação verde e devido sua fácil disseminação são consideradas invasoras de culturas. Através da colheita mecanizada das lavouras de soja e milho pode ocorrer contaminação destes grãos com as sementes dessas espécies e entrar na formulação de ração para animais de produção. O gênero Crotalaria spp. possui alcaloides pirrolizidínicos de ação tóxica. A maioria das espécies desse gênero causam lesões hepáticas, com evolução aguda ou crônica. Frangos de corte de um dia e 28 dias de vida foram alojados no aviário experimental localizado no Setor de Avicultura do CAV/UDESC. Os frangos de corte foram divididos em grupo I (sementes de C. pallida), grupo II (sementes de C. lanceolata) e grupo controle. Os grupos I e II foram divididos em cinco subgrupos, com oito frangos cada, que a partir do sétimo dia de vida, receberam doses contínuas de 0,4%, 0,8%, 2,5% e doses únicas de 15% e 25%. Quatro frangos de cada grupo foram sacrificados aos 28 dias, completando 21 dias de consumo das sementes, e os quatro restantes aos 42 dias de vida, completando 35 dias de consumo das sementes. Também foram conduzidos experimentos com as sementes dessas duas plantas com aves de 28 dias, as quais foram divididas em cinco grupos com quatro aves por grupo, para receberem durante vinte dias as doses de 1% e 2% de
sementes de C. pallida e C. lanceolata na ração, respectivamente. Estas aves foram sacrificadas ao completarem 80 dias de vida. Sementes de Crotalaria lanceolata demonstraram maior toxicidade para frangos de corte do que sementes de Crotalaria pallida fornecidas a partir do sétimo dia de vida das aves. Os sinais clínicos foram inapetência, penas arrepiadas e diarreia acastanhada. Na macroscopia observou-se edema subcutâneo, ascite, hidropericárdio, fígado de coloração amarelada com hipertrofia e, ou, atrofia, evidenciação do padrão lobular e vesícula biliar distendida. As lesões histológicas estavam presentes na maioria das aves e caracterizaram-se por tumefação e degeneração vacuolar de hepatócitos. Nas aves que manifestaram alterações clínicas e lesões macroscópicas, havia megalocitose, cariomegalia, hiperplasia do epitélio biliar, leve, esferoides eosinofílicos e invaginação nuclear com perda da arquitetura dos cordões de hepatócitos
