Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 CONCLUSION: ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS STUDY ACCORDING TO RESENT FDA RECOMMENDATIONS, CONFERM THE EXISTANCE OF VERRUCULOGEN AND OTHER MYCOTOXINS ASSOCIATED WITH CONIDIA. ---------------------- THE RECENT DETECTION OF ABUNDANT RESPIRABLE ERGOT ALKALOIDS ASSOCIATED WITH A. FUMIGATUS CONIDIA RAISES THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RESPIRATORY EPITHELIUM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE DIGESTIVE ROUTE FOR THE INTAKE OF THESE MYCOTOXINS. ------------------------------ 2007-VERRUCULOGEN ASSOCIATED WITH ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS HYPHAE AND CANIDIA MODIFIES THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF HUMAN NASAL EPITHELIAL CELLS ( the production of toxins by A. Fumigatus may help the fungus colonize by modifying the natural clearance of the respiratory tract.) http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2180/7/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
