Acute atrazine intoxication in heifers: Case report and toxicological studies.
Atrazine is a triazine organochloride herbicide, frequently used in different agricultural activities. Rare acute intoxication with atrazine is reported in production animals, and its metabolism in mammals is unknown. We report a spontaneous case of atrazine acute intoxication in 16.1% animals of a 168-beef heifer herd exposed to the herbicide at a farm located in Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Affected heifers showed different neurological signs and died suddenly, similar to the previous natural atrazine intoxication report. During autopsy, no gross lesions were observed. Different body fluids and tissues samples were collected during postmortem examination. No relevant histopathological findings were observed. High levels of atrazine and its metabolites were detected in different fluids and tissues by ultra-liquid chromatography high performance coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. These findings suggest ruminal or hepatic metabolization of atrazine in the exposed cattle. This is the first report of quantification and distribution of atrazine and its metabolites in intoxicated mammals providing relevant information for diagnostic purposes.
期刊介绍：
As the incidence of drugs escalates in 21st century living, their detection and analysis have become increasingly important. Sport, the workplace, crime investigation, homeland security, the pharmaceutical industry and the environment are just some of the high profile arenas in which analytical testing has provided an important investigative tool for uncovering the presence of extraneous substances.
In addition to the usual publishing fare of primary research articles, case reports and letters, Drug Testing and Analysis offers a unique combination of; ‘How to’ material such as ‘Tutorials’ and ‘Reviews’, Speculative pieces (‘Commentaries’ and ‘Perspectives'', providing a broader scientific and social context to the aspects of analytical testing), ‘Annual banned substance reviews’ (delivering a critical evaluation of the methods used in the characterization of established and newly outlawed compounds).
Rather than focus on the application of a single technique, Drug Testing and Analysis employs a unique multidisciplinary approach to the field of controversial compound determination. Papers discussing chromatography, mass spectrometry, immunological approaches, 1D/2D gel electrophoresis, to name just a few select methods, are welcomed where their application is related to any of the six key topics listed below.
