Trichothecene mycotoxins are sesquiterpenoid compounds primarily produced by fungi in
taxonomical genera such as Fusarium, Myrothecium, Stachybotrys, Trichothecium, and …

Trichothecenes (TCNs) are the mycotoxins produced by many fungal species such as
Fusarium, Myrothecium, and Stachybotrys and pose a considerable health risk. Based on …

Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites detected in many agricultural commodities,

Paradoxically, trichothecenes have both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory
effects. The underlying mechanisms have not been fully explored. Early studies show that …

The objective of this study was to determine the immunotoxic effects of deoxynivalenol
(DON) in weaning piglets, and potential efficacy of a modified hydrated sodium calcium …

Abstract Patulin (PAT), deoxynivalenol (DON) and toxin T-2 (T-2) are mycotoxins distributed
worldwide in food and feed. Cytotoxicity of the three mycotoxins individually or in …
