• Compared with other mycotoxins, citrinin contamination of food and feed is rather scarce. (researchgate.net)
  • OTA has been linked with the incidence of Balkan (and possible Tunisian) endemic nephropathy, but the co-occurrence of OTA with citrinin suggests an interaction between the 2 mycotoxins. (cabi.org)
  • However it is reasonable to believe that humans are much more frequently exposed to citrinin than generally accepted, because it is produced by the same moulds as ochratoxin A which common contaminant of human food all over the world. (researchgate.net)
  • Citrinin can also act synergistically with Ochratoxin A to depress RNA synthesis in murine kidneys. (hcmionline.com)
  • 13C-ochratoxin A and 13C-citrinin were most frequently selected as the best ISTDs for the 36 SMs, followed by deepoxy-deoxynivalenol, 13C-sterigmatocystin, and 13C-deoxynivalenol. (cdc.gov)
  • Fusarium species, chemotypecharacterisation and trichothecene contamination of durum and soft wheat in an area of central Italy. (garj.org)
  • The mechanism of citrinin toxicity is not fully understood, especially not whether citrinin toxicity and genotoxicity are the consequence of oxidative stress or of increased permeability of mitochondrial membranes. (researchgate.net)
  • Adequate knowledge of the toxin and proper food storage is essential to avoid contamination and further health and economic implication of citrinin poisoning. (researchgate.net)
  • Citrinin is associated with yellow rice disease in Japan and acts as a nephrotoxin in all animal species tested. (hcmionline.com)
  • Can produce a trichothecene toxin which is toxic if ingested. (black-mold.com)
