Nickan Research Institute Immunopathologia Persa 2423-8015 2 2 2016 07 01 Mycotoxin-induced toxicity; an updated mini-review on the current concepts e11 EN Elaheh Jahanian Journal Article 2016 04 02 2016 05 08 Since the secondary fungal metabolites, mycotoxins, are easily the most widespread, hence, it is difficult to delete them. On the other hands, mycotoxins are acutely and chronically toxic to animals and humans. Mycotoxins contamination induced oxidative stress and apoptosis; consequently, they involved in the regulation of gene expression. Additionally, challenging with mycotoxins caused the prevalence of many health problems especially for humans including genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity as well as nephrotoxicity.
