Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a natural mycotoxin found in Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum. It belongs to the B-trichothecenes family of mycotoxins.
Application
Deoxynivalenol has been used:
- as a mycotoxin to induce cytotoxicity in porcine jejunal epithelial cells and study the protective effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the cell viability of host cells.
- to induce toxicity in nude mice to study the effect of probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) or Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA)) supplementation on host protection
- as a thyroid hormone receptor (TRβ) antagonist in cell-based luciferase reporter gene (CALUX) assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
