Mycotoxins [PDF]

open access: possible, 1996
A very large number of molds produce toxic substances designated mycotoxins. Some are mutagenic and carcinogenic, some display specific organ toxicity, and some are toxic by other mechanisms. While the clear-cut toxicity of many mycotoxins for humans has not been demonstrated, the effect of these compounds on experimental animals and their effect in in

Endocrine activity of mycotoxins and mycotoxin mixtures

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2016
Reporter gene assays incorporating nuclear receptors (estrogen, androgen, thyroid β and PPARγ2) have been implemented to assess the endocrine activity of 13 mycotoxins and their mixtures. As expected, zearalenone and its metabolites α-zearalenol and β- zearalenol turned out to have the strongest estrogenic potency (EC50 8,7 10-10 ± 0,8; 3,1 10-11 ± 0,5

MYCOTOXINS

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1978
Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by common fungi. The most important in the world’s food and feed supplies are: aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone. Aflatoxins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and related species in grains and nuts, cause liver cancer, often in association with hepatitis B virus, and some other

Mycotoxins

2014
Mycotoxins are toxic fungal products that are produced when fungi grow in human and animal foods. A large number of food and beverage items can be contaminated with mycotoxins. Exposure to mycotoxins causes disease in humans and animals. Recent studies using biomarkers of exposure, internal dose, and adverse effects have shown that mycotoxins are ...

The Toxicology of Mycotoxins

CRC Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 1985
Mycotoxin problems are one of great concern to health scientists. Toxic fungal metabolites such as aflatoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone and others are contaminated in our environments and induce various diseases. In this manuscript, the author will summarize the recent advances on toxicology of mycotoxins in special references to toxicological ...

Microporous Luminescent Metal-Organic Framework for a Sensitive and Selective Fluorescence Sensing of Toxic Mycotoxin in Moldy Sugarcane.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2018
Food contamination by toxic mycotoxins not only causes a considerable loss in economy, but importantly poses a huge threat to human health through accidental ingestion.

Toxicology of mycotoxins

2010
Humans are exposed to mycotoxins via ingestion, contact and inhalation. This must have occurred throughout human history and led to severe outbreaks. Potential diseases range from akakabio-byo to stachybotryotoxicosis and cancer. The known molecular bases of toxicology run the gamut of 23 compounds, from aflatoxins (AFs) to zearalenone, ochratoxin A ...

Mycotoxins

2016
Mycotoxins are substances produced by fungi that are poisonous to humans and other animals. Important mycotoxic fungi are either parasites or saprophytes of cereal and pulse crops and include species of Claviceps, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium.

Mycotoxins and the Bible

Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 1984
Moulds grow when humidity is high. About 100,000 species ofmoulds are known, but only some of these are toxigenic and produce deleterious secondary metabolites. These are known as mycotoxins and develop when the environmental conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and nutrients, are conducive to the growth of moulds and to the production of ...
