Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a major metabolite of aflatoxin, is a highly toxic carcinogen. It frequently contaminates feed due to improper storage of feed ingredients such as corn and peanut meal, with the contamination risk further escalating alongside the...
Aflatoxins (AFs) are potent hepatotropic mycotoxins—AFB1 being the best-characterized—yet their ability to induce intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) remains underexplored. Male Wistar rats received vehicle (controls; n = 5) or an AFB1...
Accurate quantification of Deoxynovalienol (DON) in wheat is critical for food safety, but current methods suffer from poor reproducibility due to inconsistent operational parameters across the sampling and analysis workflow. To address this issue, t...
The consumption of nuts is widespread globally and constitutes a significant component of the human diet due to its nutritional value. However, the presence of mycotoxins in food products, including nuts, is a global public health concern. Mycotoxins...
The authors realized there was an error in the original publication [...]
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a thermostable, lipophilic, non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. that persistently contaminates food and feed. Its strong estrogenic activity and resistance to conventional detoxification strategies pose s...
This study investigated the systemic metabolic effects of feeding a Fusarium-contaminated diet to early-lactation Holstein cows, with or without a mycotoxin-deactivating product (MDP; Mycofix® Plus, BIOMIN Holding GmbH, Tulln, Austria). Thirty co...
This scoping review aimed to summarize the current literature on the etiological and pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the development of retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) through a PRISMA literature search. According to the...
α-Zearalenol (α-ZOL), the primary metabolite of zearalenone (ZEN), is a prevalent mycotoxin in agricultural products (e.g., corn, wheat) and poses health risks due to its toxicity. However, strategies to mitigate its toxicity are needed....
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with gut microbiota alterations that contribute to increased inflammation and the generation of uremic toxins and may worsen the disease progression. While probiotics may improve the pro-inflammatory cytokin...
