Microcystins are regarded as the most common and most dangerous groups of cyanobacteria hepatotoxins (Gupta et al., 2003; Zhang et al., 2009), and can usually be found in over half of the freshwater bodies where cyanobacteria are present (Graham et al., 2010). Exposure to these contaminants...
and the poison is stored in their bodies.2This toxin has been found in these seafoods every month of the year, and butter clams have been known to store the toxin for up to 2 years. Shellfish poisoning is more common during red tides, when sea waters turn a reddish color because of ...
A recombinant nucleic acid molecule can contain two or more nucleotide sequences that are linked in a manner such that the product is not found in a cell in nature. In particular, the two or more nucleotide sequences can be operatively linked and, for example, can encode a fusion ...
The recoveries found were in the range 68–115% and the CV lower than 17.2% demonstrating good repeatability. The OTA ELISA showed the ability to distinguish between different mycotoxins concentrations in nine different matrices below, at and above the maximum limits set in the EU [5]. The ...
In this context, aflatoxins (AF) are metabolites produced by filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, commonly found as contaminants in a large variety of daily life products, such as peanuts and maize [43]. This group of 18 structurally related compounds causes ...
in these feeds, including peanuts, wheat, soybean, maize, and fishmeal, have been shown to be contaminated with mycotoxin (Binderet al.,2007; Rodrigues and Naehrer,2012; Streitet al.,2012). In addition, feed production, transport, and storage are other factors that can contribute to the ...
the T-cell used for various cellular interactions and proliferation. GATA3 has been found in low concentrations in naïve and Th1 cells, but in high concentrations in Th2 cells. It is necessary for the initial stages of Th2 cell differentiation, but does not affect mature Th2 ...
(4). Additionally, key nodes crucial for shaping the network structure were identified based on intra-module connectivity and inter-module connectivity of each member in the network: Mg, ZEN and DON were mainly observed in the NP-environmental factors network; K, UST were primarily found in ...
In the US, based on a report from the FDA, a conservative estimate of annual loss due to mycotoxin contamination ranges from USD 0.5 million to over USD 1.5 billion from aflatoxin (corn and peanuts), fumonisin (corn), and deoxynivalenol (wheat) [8]. Trichothecenes inhibit protein translation...
