aflatoxin m-1

Aflatoxin M1, a significant metabolite of Aflatoxin B1, is a mycotoxin synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus fungi. Toxicity levels of Aflatoxins follow the order: Aflatoxin B1 > Aflatoxin M1 > Aflatoxin G1 > Aflatoxin B2 > Aflatoxin M2 > Aflatoxin G2.

Aflatoxin B2-13C17(AFB2-13C17) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of AFB2by GC- or LC-MS. AFB2is a mycotoxin that has been found inA. terricola.1It induces hepatic autophagy and apoptosis in broiler chickens when administered at doses of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg kg.2AFB2(0.5 and 1 mg animal) also induces parenchymal cell hyperplasia in rats.3 1.Moubasher, A.H., el-Kady, I.A., and Shoriet, A.Toxigenic Aspergilli isolated from different sources in EgyptAnn.
