ochratoxin a/유방암

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a fungal secondary metabolite that can contaminate various foods. OTA has several toxic effects like nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and neurotoxicity in different animal species, but its mechanisms of toxicity are still unclear. How OTA accumulates in kidney, liver, and brain

Previous studies indicate that the intestinal absorption of the nephrotoxic mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) occurs mainly through passive diffusion of the undissociated form. However, several in vitro studies have shown that OTA is partly re-secreted into the intestinal lumen by the multi-drug

The objective of this study was to determine an appropriate culture period to assess whether a compound of interest is transported by efflux transporters such as human multidrug resistance 1 (hMDR1), human multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (hMRP2), and human breast cancer resistance protein
