This article elucidates the effect of crude dietary aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on the stability of the lysosomal membrane in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), and the analysis was made at the biochemical and cellular level. The liver lysosomal acid phosphatase activity was used to evaluate the functional integrity of the lysosome. Three experimental groups were fed on diets containing 0.375, 2.5 and 6 similar to mg similar to kg-1 of AFB1 for a time period of 6 similar to weeks, whereas a fourth group fed on the semi-purified diet formed the control. Significant changes were observed in the stability of the lysosomal membrane in aflatoxin exposed groups. This is the first report, so far, of changes induced by AFB1 on the stability of lysosomal membrane in tilapia (O. mossambicus).
