Mycotoxins

07/01/2002 - "Extraction of mycotoxins from human patient urine is a very useful confirmatory test to demonstrate exposure and identify mycotoxicosis. "
06/01/2015 - "However, the awareness on the prevalence of mycotoxins, available modern techniques to analyze them, the effects of mycotoxicoses, and the recent developments in the ways to safely eliminate the mycotoxins from the feed are very minimal among the producers. "
03/01/2015 - "The existing hazard of joint mycotoxin exposure of animals/humans and the significance of masked mycotoxins in foods or feeds and their respective contributions to the development of some food born mycotoxicoses is briefly reviewed. "
03/01/2015 - "Foodborne mycotoxicoses, risk assessment and underestimated hazard of masked mycotoxins and joint mycotoxin effects or interaction."
02/01/2014 - "Recently, various clays have been added to the feed to adsorb mycotoxins and to prevent mycotoxicosis of animals fed contaminated feeds. "

12/01/1992 - "Mycotoxins are considered unavoidable contaminants in foods and feeds because agronomic technology has not yet advanced to the stage at which preharvest infection of susceptible crops by fungi can be eliminated. "
08/01/2015 - "To get detailed information on the time course of the infection process leading to the accumulation of Fusarium mycotoxins in maize ears, a field study was conducted over 2 years with two maize varieties, which were inoculated with F. "
07/15/2010 - "The study therefore suggested that subsistence farmers and consumers in this part of Zambia, and maybe also in similar environments in sub-Saharan Africa, might be exposed to dangerous levels of mycotoxins due to the high levels of ear rot infections in maize grain."
02/13/2002 - "Maize that has been genetically modified to express a Bt endotoxin has been used to study the effect of insect resistance on fungal infection of maize grains by Fusarium species and their related mycotoxins. "
03/01/2000 - "Ultrastructural and cytochemical studies on the infection of wheat spikes byFusarium culmorum as well as on degradation of cell wall components and localization of mycotoxins in the host tissue."

10/01/2009 - "The following is a review of some of the work we have done since 2004 regarding the importance of molds and their mycotoxins in the phenomenon of sick building syndrome (SBS). "
10/01/2009 - "Molds, mycotoxins, and sick building syndrome."
01/01/2006 - "The development of a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of 16 mycotoxins possibly related to the 'Sick Building Syndrome' on filters and in fungal cultures is described. "
07/01/2004 - "Activation of this receptor by certain mycotoxins may account for some cases of sick building syndrome, a frequent precursor of MCS. "
07/01/2004 - "chartarum produces mycotoxins that are thought to produce some of the symptoms reported in sick-building syndrome (SBS). "

09/01/2012 - "The mycotoxin concentration in diets and the animal age at challenge were the variables that more improved the coefficient of determination in equations for estimating the effect of mycotoxins on weight gain. "
09/01/2012 - "The presence of mycotoxins in diets was seen to reduce the feed intake by 18% and the weight gain in 21% compared with the control group. "
10/01/1996 - "The average weight gain was reduced in the groups treated with mycotoxins. "
09/01/2012 - "Deoxynivalenol and aflatoxins were the mycotoxins with the greatest impact on the feed intake and growth of pigs, reducing by 26% and 16% in the feed intake and by 26% and 22% in the weight gain. "
09/01/2011 - "Ochratoxins and aflatoxins were the mycotoxins with the greatest effect on feed intake and bird growth, reducing (P < 0.05) feed ingestion by 17 and 11%, respectively, and weight gain by 20 and 11%, respectively. "

04/29/2010 - "We propose here that fungal toxins are the underlying cause of multiple sclerosis and thus may offer an avenue towards an effective cure."
04/29/2010 - "Decades of research suggest that the primary suspects (e.g., viruses, genes, immune system) are associative rather than causative agents, but a surprisingly coherent relationship can be made between multiple sclerosis and fungal toxins. "
04/29/2010 - "Fungal toxins and multiple sclerosis: a compelling connection."
