Evaluation of immunotoxic effects and metabolism of enniatins and beauvericin using in vitro models of the human intestinal epithelium

Enniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species. They are frequently detected in cereal-based foods such as maize and wheat. Consequently, the gastrointestinal tract is a primary site of exposure for consumers of grain-containing foods. This study examined intestinal effects of four major ENNs: ENNB, ENNB1, ENNA, and ENNA1, and the structurally related mycotoxin…
