Popis: | The Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is an irreversible, chronic, tubulo-interstitial nephropathy described so far in several rural regions from the Balkan with an unknown aetiology. Both ochratoxin A (OTA) and aristolochic acid (AA) are considered responsible for BEN. This paper performed a comparison between the toxic effect of OTA and AA using a kidney cell line LLC-PK. OTA and AA decreased cell viability in a dose dependent manner. The dose dependent effect was observed for both toxins, the doses higher than 5mg/mL inducing a significant inhibition of viability (P |
