The effects of repeated i.p. administration of aflatoxin B1 on the peripheral nervous system and CNS of rats were investigated. Biochemical markers of neurotoxicty were monitored in nervous tisues following aflatoxin B1 dosage and after the cessation of alfatoxin B1 administration. Aflatoxin B1 increased the activities of .beta.-glucuronidase and .beta.-galactosidase in both systems. Repeated exposure of rats to aflatoxin B1 also activated Na+, K+-ATPase and inhibited Mg2+-ATPase. Nervous tissue levels of DNA and total protein increased while the concentrations of RNA and phospholipid were depressed by aflatoxin B1. The alterations in these parameters were specific for each tissue during recovery. Repeated administration of aflatoxin B1 to rats resulted in degeneration in systems that may have been related to the overt toxicity observed following aflatoxin administration.
