Abstract:Fusarium species
produce a secondary metabolite
known as T-2 toxin, which is the primary and most harmful toxin found
in type A trichothecenes. T-2 toxin is widely found in food and grain-based
animal feed and endangers the health of both humans and animals. T-2
toxin exposure in humans and animals occurs primarily through food
administration; therefore, the first organ that T-2 toxin targets
is the gut. In this overview, the research progress, toxicity mechanism,
and detoxification of the toxin T-2 were revie… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
