Neurotoxicity mechanism of Ochratoxin A
Mycotoxins, such as Ochratoxins, are widely distributed in nature and are common contaminants of human foodstuffs. Ochratoxins are a group of mycotoxins produced by a wide range of molds. Ochratoxin A (OTA), the most prominent member of this toxin family,

Ochratoxin A: The Continuing Enigma [PDF]
The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) has been linked to the genesis of several disease states in both animals and humans. It has been described as nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic, and hepatotoxic in laboratory and domestic animals, as well as being thought to be the probable causal agent in the development of nephropathies (Balkan ...

Pathohistological changes in kidney and LDH activity in broiler treated with different doses of ochratoxin A [PDF]
The three-week long trial was performed on day-old Hybro broilers divided into four groups. After 14 days long preexperimental period, the experimental groups were offered feed contaminated with 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 ppm OA during 7 respectively.

Alphatoxin Nanopore Detection of Aflatoxin, Ochratoxin and Fumonisin in Aqueous Solution
Mycotoxins are toxic and carcinogenic metabolites produced by groups of filamentous fungi that colonize food crops. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) are among the most relevant agricultural mycotoxins, as they can induce ...

The occurrence of ochratoxin A in coffee [PDF]
Ochratoxin A (OA) is a nephrotoxic and nephrocarcinogenic mycotoxin which is predominantly produced by the two ubiquitous fungal genera, Aspergillus and Penicillium. OA is found in foodstuffs, predominantly in cereals but also in coffee beans. Inconsistent results have been published regarding the influence of roasting on the OA content in roasted ...

Detection and Estimation of Ochratoxin A [PDF]
THE recent isolation1 of ochratoxin A from Aspergillus ochraceus Wilh., which has a widespread natural distribution, made the development of a rapid method for the detection and estimation of the mycotoxin desirable. The following methods have been used during screening of fungal strains and media for toxin production.
