Metabolism of ochratoxin A by rats [PDF]
Albino rats were given ochratoxin A (6.6 mg/kg body weight) intraperitoneally or per os. Independent of route administration, 6% of a given dose was excreted as the toxin, 1 to 1.5% as (4R)-4-hydroxyochratoxin A, and 25 to 27% as ochratoxin alpha in the urine.

Radioimmunoassay of ochratoxin A in barley [PDF]
A simple and rapid radioimmunoassay was developed for the quantitative determination of ochratoxin A in barley. [14C]ochratoxin A, with a specific activity of 130 Ci/mol, was used as the tracer. Toxin levels below 100 ng/ml required a cleanup step. Three methods (the Association of Official Analytical Chemists cleanup method, the solvent partition ...
