Description
Mycotoxins like moniliformin (MON) and patulin (PAT) are toxic compounds commonly found in food and feed, posing significant health threats to both humans and animals. Of particular concern is their frequent co-occurrence in binary mixtures, which could amplify their toxic effects. This study explores the cytotoxic impact of MON, PAT, and their combination on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, shedding light on the potential risks associated with combined exposure. By investigating the interplay of these toxins, this research emphasizes the pressing need for deeper understanding and improved risk assessment of food contaminated with multiple mycotoxins, an issue of growing relevance in food safety and public health.
