From cellular stress to cytokine modulation: An in vitro study of intestinal effects of major Alternaria mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are frequently detected in food, making the gastrointestinal tract the first organ exposed. Here, we used various in vitro intestinal cell models to explore the barrier and immune responses to the Alternaria mycotoxins alternariol (AOH), alternariol methyl ether (AME), altenuene (ALT), altertoxin I (ATX-I), tentoxin (TEN), and tenuazonic acid (TeA). The mycotoxins exhibited low…
