Chlorella sorokiniana attenuates deoxynivalenol-exacerbated allergic dermatitis and type 2 immune responses in mice

Open DOI

Ayano Sato, Tetta Hiwatashi, Mao Kaneki et al.

Chronic dietary exposure to low concentrations of deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin found in cereal products, disrupts immune homeostasis and exacerbates allergic inflammation. Chlorella sorokiniana ( CS ) can adsorb DON an...

Peroxiredoxin II as a metabolic gatekeeper against aflatoxin B1-induced hepatic steatosis: restoration of PPARα/γ balance via mitochondrial ROS scavenging

Open DOI

Wen-Jia Xu, Xin-Mei He, Hao-Cheng Liu et al.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a pervasive food contaminant affecting approximately 25% of global staple crops, represents an underrecognized environmental risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study investigates the prote...

An integrated adaptive framework for mycotoxin management in African cereals: evidence from a scoping review

Open DOI

Vioutou E. C. Coffi, Kokeb Tesfamariam, Ogouyôm Herbert Iko Afé et al.

Mycotoxins threaten food safety, public health, and trade in Africa, where cereals are staple foods largely produced and consumed through informal systems. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on pre- and post-harvest mycotoxin manag...

Mycotoxin contamination in food and feed: Occurrence, co-occurrence, combined impacts on human and animal health, climate change implications, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies

Open DOI

Oluwasola Abayomi Adelusi, Viola Onyinye Okechukwu, Julianah Olayemi Odukoya et al.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by numerous fungi that infect crops during pre- and post-harvest stages. Aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, zearalenone, and trichothecenes are of greatest concern due to their widesp...
