Abstract Fumonisin B1 (FB 1) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by the Fusarium
molds that can contaminate food and feed. It has been found that FB 1 can cause systemic …

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin primarily produced by Fusarium fungi, occurring
predominantly in cereal grains. Following the request of the European Commission, the …

There is an increasing awareness of the deleterious effects attributed to mycotoxins during
their fate within the gut, particularly for deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN) …

A pilot, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted in eight rural communities in
northern Nigeria to investigate mycotoxin exposures in 120 volunteers (19 children, 20 …

Abstract Deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV) and zearalenone (ZEA) are mycotoxins
commonly produced by Fusarium species. The purpose of the present study was to …

Contamination of food/feedstuffs by mycotoxins is a serious problem worldwide, causing
severe economic losses and serious health problems in animals/humans. Deoxynivalenol …

This study was performed to determine the individual and combined cytotoxic effects of
Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1), zearalenone (ZEA), deoxynivalenol (DON) and fumonisin B 1 (FB 1) …

The intestinal epithelium is the first barrier against food contaminants and is highly sensitive
to Fusarium toxins, especially deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). Here, we …

Bio-monitoring of human exposure to mycotoxin has mostly been limited to a few individually
measured mycotoxin biomarkers. This study aimed to determine the frequency and level of …
