Toxicological properties of citrinin.
Citrinin (CTN) is a nephrotoxic mycotoxin produced by several fungal strains belonging to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Monascus. It contaminates various commodities of plant origin, cereals in particular, and is usually found together with another nephrotoxic mycotoxin, ochratoxin A (OTA). These two mycotoxins are believed to be involved in the aetiology of endemic nephropathy. In a...
متن کاملToxicological properties of lead.
The pathological effects of lead on the renal, nervous, reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems have been reviewed. Emphasis is placed on reported subclinical effects due to chronic, low-level lead exposure. The crucial issue of whether subtle behavioral, intellectual, and developmental impairment occurs in young children, as a result of lead-induced CNS damage is discussed in detail. This ...
متن کاملToxicological Properties of Potassium Bromate
Potassium bromate (KBrO3), used in both the food and cosmetics industry, and a drinking water disinfection byproduct, is a nephrotoxic chemical and rodent carcinogen. As KBrO3 is primarily an oxidizing compound, reactive oxygen and other species generated from bromate have been held responsible for the genotoxic, carcinogenic and toxic effects. Bromate induces primary DNA oxidative damage, muta...
متن کاملThe Occurrence, Properties and Significance of Citrinin Mycotoxin
Citrinin mycotoxin is a polyketide produced by several species of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium and Monascus. Though A. niger is reported to be the highest producer of citrinin among the Aspergillus species, other citrinin producers of this genus include A. awentil, A. ostianus, A. fumigatus, A. niveus, A.awamori and A. parasiticus [1]. Some of the citrinin producing fungi are also able t...
