Selective chemisorption and detoxification of aflatoxins by phyllosilicate clay Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 204-213 - 1995
Timothy D. Phillips, A.B. Sarr, Patrick G. Grant
AbstractPractical and effective strategies for the detoxification of aflatoxins
are critically needed. We have shown that a phyllosilicate clay (HSCAS): i)
tightly binds aflatoxins in aqueous solutions, including milk; ii) markedly
decreases the bioavailability of radiolabeled aflatoxins; iii) greatly
diminishes aflatoxicosis in young animals, i.e., rats, chickens, turkeys, lambs,
and pigs; and iv... hiện toàn bộ
Economic losses and decontamination Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 199-203 - 1995
Lynne L. Charmley, H. L. Trenholm, Dan B. Prelusky, Alona Rosenberg
AbstractMycotoxin contamination of crops may cause economic losses at all levels
of food and feed production including crop and animal production, and crop
distribution and processing. The national economy would be affected adversely by
losses incurred by crop and livestock producers and the multiplier effect this
has on other industries as a result of the reduced spending power of producers.

Antitumor effect of plant lectins Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 157-163 - 1997
Fikrat Abdullaev, Elvira González de Mejı́a
AbstractThis review examines the literature data concerning the biological
activity of plant lectins. Numerous studies have reported that these substances
possess toxic, cytotoxic, antitumor, and anticarcinogenic properties. A brief
description of the biological properties of plant lectins, as well as the effect
of plant lectins on normal and malignant cells and the antitumor properties of
these l... hiện toàn bộ
Worldwide regulations for mycotoxins in 1994 Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 332-336 - 1995
Hans P. van Egmond, W. H. Dekker
AbstractSince the discovery of the aflatoxins in the 1960s, regulations have
been established in many countries to protect the consumer from harmful effects
of mycotoxins that may contaminate foodstuffs. Various factors play a role in
the decision‐making process of setting limits for mycotoxins. These include
scientific factors such as availability of survey data, toxicological data,
analytical me... hiện toàn bộ
“Lupinosis”‐Like lesions in mice caused by ustiloxin, produced by Ustilaginoieda virens: A morphological study Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 22-28 - 1994
Kei Nakamura, Naotaka Izumiyama, Kohichiro Ohtsubo, Yukiko Koiso, Shigeo Iwasaki, R Sonoda, Yuichi Fujita, Hiroshi Yaegashi, Zenji Sato
AbstractA crude toxin, obtained by methanol‐extraction of a water extract of
false smut balls (INA‐KOUJI in Japanese) caused by Ustilaginoidea virens on rice
panicles, was injected into mice intraperitoneally. Single injection of 100 or
200 mg/kg body weight of the extract was not lethal but caused acute, occasional
necrosis of hepatocytes and renal tubular cells, followed by increased number of

Salt clean‐up procedure for the determination of domoic acid by HPLC Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 206-211 - 1994
Christine L. Hatfield, John C. Wekell, E. J. Gauglitz, Harold J. Bamett
AbstractDomoic acid (DA) was first reported in mussels from Prince Edward
Island, Canada, in 1987. It reappeared in anchovies and pelicans from Monterey
Bay, California, in 1991. Later that year, domoic acid was found in razor clams
and Dungeness crabs along the Washington and Oregon coasts. Since the initial
outbreak, a variety of analytical methods for the detection of this neurotoxin
have been ... hiện toàn bộ
Brazilian baccharis toxins: Livestock poisoning and the isolation of macrocyclic trichothecene glucosides Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 58-71 - 1996
Bruce B. Jarvis, Shengjun Wang, Christopher Cox, M. Madhusudana Rao, V. Balakrishnan R. Philip, Mary Suzan Varaschin, Cláudio S.L. Barros
AbstractSamples of the toxic Brazilian plant, Baccharis coridifolia, which is
reponsible for numerous cases of livestock poisoning in southern Brazil and
Argentina, were collected during the growing season, and the toxicities in
calves of the plant materials were correlated with the levels of macrocyclic
trichothecenes present. Female plants in flower were considerably more toxic
than male plants ... hiện toàn bộ
Apoptotic cellular damage in mice after T‐2 toxin‐induced acute toxicosis Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 141-145 - 1997
Tomomi Ihara, Masao Sugamata, Masaru Sekijima, Hiroki Okumura, Naoto Yoshino, Yoshio Ueno
AbstractBy histopathologic, electron microscopic, and immunochemical
observation, the mechanism of cellular death was investigated in thymus, spleen,
and liver of mice given intraperitoneally sublethal doses of T‐2 toxin, a
trichothecene mycotoxin. In the thymus and spleen of mice given 5.0 mg/kg body
weight of T‐2 toxin and killed 12 hours later, a massive cellular destruction
characterized by ch... hiện toàn bộ
Some reflections on establishing a community legislation on mycotoxins Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 337-340 - 1995
Giuseppe Verardi, H. Rosner
AbstractA Community legislation on mycotoxins is essential to protect public
health and to avoid trade barriers and competition distortions. Maximum
permitted levels in food are to be fixed. Some orientations for this purpose are
indicated.The verification of the compliance with maximum permitted levels shall
need suitable analytical methods. Up to now, such methods were fixed by
directives. This ... hiện toàn bộ
