Effects of Selenium and Zinc in Aflatoxin B1 Poisoning in Broiler [PDF]
To test the effect of selenium & zinc in aflatoxin B1 poisoning in broiler, day-old broiler chicks (n=80) were divided into 5 treatment groups with 16 birds each, (T0-control; T1-50ppb AFB1 T2-100ppb AFB1, T3-200ppb AFB1, T4-400ppb AFB1), after ...

ABSTRACT Mycotoxins, originating from contaminated raw materials or suboptimal feed storage, are a growing concern in tropical aquaculture. Common fungi such as Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. produce mycotoxins including aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone. High doses or prolonged exposure (weeks) to low doses of these mycotoxins (<

Application of Carbon Quantum Dots in Food Business: A Comprehensive Review
This approach is straightforward and practical in comparison to previous approaches because it speeds up the synthesis of CQDs while maintaining a high quantum yield. By heating the poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG‐200) for 2–10 min. However, there are several downsides of this technique, such as the nonuniform particle sizes of carbon quantum dots that ...

ABSTRACT Background Mongolia has the highest incidence of liver cancer worldwide, largely driven by a high prevalence of hepatitis virus infections. Mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Aims This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of mutations
