Conversion of ochratoxin C into ochratoxin A in vivo [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984 The conversion of ochratoxin C to ochratoxin A was studied in rats after oral and intravenous administration. The concentration of ochratoxin A in the blood as a function of time was the same after oral administration of equivalent amounts of either ochratoxin C or ochratoxin A.
