Mycotoxin contamination is a global phenomenon and causes a wide array of negative
effects and other complications. This study focused on commonly found mycotoxins in Africa …

Mycotoxins are the secondary metabolites secreted by different types of fungi to which
humans can get exposed mainly via ingestion. Patulin (C 7 H 6 O 4) is a polyketide lactone …

Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane
scrambling, is stimulated by Ca 2+ entry through Ca 2+-permeable, PGE 2-activated cation …

Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by erythrocyte shrinkage, cell
membrane blebbing, and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation …

Besides plants and animals, the Fungi kingdom describes several species characterized by
various forms and applications. They can be found in all habitats and play an essential role …

Anemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) results mainly from erythropoietin and iron
deficiency. Anemia could be confounded, however, by accelerated clearance of circulating …

Saponins, naturally occurring glycosides and triterpene glycosides in plants, are considered
useful in the prophylaxis and treatment of several disorders, including malignancy. The …

Filamentous fungi are one of the most important producers of secondary metabolites. Some
of them can have a toxic effect on the human body, leading to diseases. On the other hand …

Background/Aims: Anemia, a common condition in the elderly, could result from impaired
formation and/or from accelerated loss of circulating erythrocytes. The latter could result from …

Background/Aim: Anemia in renal insufficiency results in part from impaired erythrocyte
formation due to erythropoietin and iron deficiency. Beyond that, renal insufficiency …
