Protective Effect of SeMet on Liver Injury Induced by Ochratoxin A in Rabbits
Toxins, 2022 Ochratoxin A (OTA) is second only to aflatoxin in toxicity among mycotoxins. Recent studies have shown that selenomethionine (SeMet) has a protective effect on mycotoxin-induced toxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect
