Brief summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of applying dexamethasone for prevention and treatment purposes to eliminate glucose malabsorption produced by acute T-2 toxicosis in white outbred rats. T-2 toxin was administered intragastrically at a dose level of 1/2 DL50 (1.4 mg/kg), dexamethasone - intramuscularly at a level of 0.02 mg/kg. Glucocorticoid was injected 30 minutes before the exposure or 30 minutes and 3 hours after the intoxication. It was revealed that T-2 toxin inhibited glucose absorption by 30.0%. A dexamethasone administration stimulated glucose penetration through the apical membrane of the enterocyte undependent on the time while maximum stimulation glucose penetration (by 220.0% ) was registered for prevention administration of the hormone.
