To elucidate the teratogenic effects, ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were dissolved in corn oil and administered in combination to New Zealand White rabbits during 6-18 days of gestation orally with the dose levels of OTA+AFB1, 0.05+0.05 and 0.1+0.1mg/kg body weight. To assess

Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus carbonarius are two species in the Aspergillus section Nigri (black-spored aspergilli) frequently associated with peanut (Arachis hypogea), maize (Zea mays), and other plants as pathogens. These infections are symptomless and as such are major concerns since some

The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) was shown to be a potent kidney carcinogen in rats demonstrating a marked sex difference in the response. Compared to female rats, male rats had a 10-fold higher incidence of kidney carcinomas. The objective of this study was to investigate whether this sex

Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin produced by several fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium species, is a nephrotoxin and a renal carcinogen in rodents. This study was performed to investigate the biotransformation and toxicokinetics of this important food contaminant. Male (n=18) and female (n=18)

Ochratoxin A (OA) and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), the food borne mycotoxins are produced by several fungal species of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. To determine the teratogenic effects, these mycotoxins were administered orally either individually or in combination to the pregnant Wistar rats on

Long Evans rats of both sexes were each administered a total of 250 micrograms aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin-A (OCH-A) or 500 micrograms AFB1 + OCH-A (1:1 ratio) in corn oil over 5 equal daily intraperitoneal (IP) injections of 50 micrograms/rat/day. Control rats were given a total of 1.25 ml corn

Ochratoxin A is a naturally occurring fungal toxin that is a contaminant in corn, peanuts, storage grains, cottonseed, meats, dried fish, and nuts. Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering ochratoxin A (98% pure) in corn oil by gavage to groups of F344/N rats of each sex

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium that represent toxic real threat for human beings and animal health. In this study we evaluated the effect of a new recombinant mitochondrial manganese containing superoxide dismutase (rMnSOD) on oxidative stress and on the

Male (n=18) and female (n=18) F344 rats were administered a single dose of OTA (0.5 mg/kg b.w.) in corn oil by gavage. Animals (n=3) were sacrificed 24, 48, 72, 96, 672 and 1,344 hours after OTA administration and concentrations of OTA and OTA-metabolites in urine, feces, blood, liver and kidney

Mouldy maize samples were collected at three periods of the year (Dry harmattan period, November-February; hot and dry period, March-May; and hot humid and wet period, June-September) from local government areas of Plateau State of Nigeria. They were screened for their mycoflora, aflatoxins,

Ochratoxins (OTA) are secondary metabolites of Aspergillus and Penicillium. The detoxification of OTA has been of major interest due to its widespread threat to human health. We aimed to investigate the possible alleviative effect of myricetin (MYR) against OTA-induced damage in renal cortex of

A survey was conducted to determine if carcinogenic mycotoxins were present in foods consumed by Mississippi sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pulla). Samples of field corn (Zea mays) (n = 111) and chufa (Cyperus esculentus) (n = 20), obtained in 1987, 1988 and 1989 on the Mississippi Sandhill Crane

Background: Mycotoxin contamination in oils remains an important food safety issue. To monitor the occurrence of mycotoxins in edible oils, it is important to develop analytical methods that can determine multiple mycotoxins in oil products. A stable isotope dilution LC-tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) method

A thin layer chromatographic cleanup development with benzene-hexane (3+1) effectively removed lipids and some contaminants from mixtures of mycotoxins in corn oil, olive oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, and seed extracts. A second development in the same direction as the first, using toluene-ethyl

Mature maize (Zea mays) embryos were exposed to 5, 10 and 25 µg ml(-1) of deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), ochratoxin A (OA) and a mixture of zearalenone and deoxynivalenol (ZEA/DON) for 9 days. DON and the ZEA/DON combination were consistently more inhibitory of the measured parameters than
