    Efficacy of AdiDetoxTM in reducing the toxicity of fumonisin B1 in rats
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Denli, Muzaffer; Blandon, Juan C.; Salado, Silvia; Guynot, Maria E.; Casas, Josefina; Perez, Jose F.
    The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new mycotoxin inactivator (AdiDetox(TM)) in reducing the toxic effects of fumonisin B-1(FB1) in the diet of rats. Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley growing rats (125 g +/- 1 g BW) were assigned to eight dietary treatments for seven days. The experiment had a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement with two levels of FB1 (0 mg and 15 mg of FB1,/kg feed) and four levels of AdiDetox(TM) (0 g, 1 g, 2 g and 5 g /kg feed) in the diet No significant differences were observed in the growth performance among treatments (P > 0.05), though low levels of sphingosine (So) and sphinganine (Sa) were detected in the liver. However, So and Sa and the Sa/So ratio in kidneys were higher in rats receiving the FRI diets (P <0.0001) than in those fed the Control diet. Supplementation of AdiDetox(TM) to the diet significantly reduced the toxic effects of FB1, leading to a significant decrease in the Sa content and in the Sa/So ratio in kidneys. In conclusion, the results suggest that AdiDetox(TM) can effectively reduce toxicity of FB1 in growing rats. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Ochratoxins in Feed, a Risk for Animal and Human Health: Control Strategies
    (Mdpi, 2010) Denli, Muzaffer; Perez, Jose F.
    Ochratoxin A (OTA) has been shown to be a potent nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, and teratogenic compound. In farm animals, the intake of feed contaminated with OTA affects animal health and productivity, and may result in the presence of OTA in the animal products. Strategies for the control of OTA in food products require early identification and elimination of contaminated commodities from the food chain. However, current analytical protocols may fail to identify contaminated products, especially in animal feed. The present paper discusses the impact of OTA on human and animal health, with special emphasis on the potential risks of OTA residue in animal products, and control strategies applied in the feed industry.
