For the determination of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) in food and feed samples a simple and accurate LC-MS/MS method, which does not require extensive sample clean-up steps, was developed and validated. A fully carbon-13-labelled internal standard was used to compensate for matrix effects. Briefly, the samples were extracted with 1% formic acid in acetonitrile and directly analysed with HPLC-MS/MS. The following MS/MS transitions were used: m/z 337/196 and 337/182 for cyclopiazonic acid; m/z 357/210 and 357/191 for (13)C20-cyclopiazonic acid. Applying this optimised method, LODs down to 0.2μgkg(-1) and LOQs down to 0.5μgkg(-1) were determined in the validated matrices. The focus of this study was testing different types of white mould cheese but other complex samples could also be analyzed successfully with this method. It was interesting to find out, that in some commercially available white mould cheese, high concentrations of CPA (up to 3700μgkg(-1)) could be found.

This study explored the vasodilatory mechanisms of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor remogliflozin using femoral arteries of rabbits. Remogliflozin dilated femoral arterial rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment with the Ca-sensitive K channel inhibitor (paxilline), the ATP-sensitive K channel inhibitor (glibenclamide), or the inwardly rectifying K channel inhibitor (Ba) did not alter the vasodilatory effect.

Filamentous fungi are recognized for their significance in food processing and antibiotic production, as well as their capacity to produce mycotoxins. Numerous secondary metabolites have been investigated, and their occurrence in foodstuffs, both in the field and during the storage of agricultural products, poses a substantial health risk to consumers. Several fungal species capable of producing mycotoxins have been documented.

Interstitial cells of Cajal in the plane of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) serve as electrical pacemakers in the stomach and small intestine. A similar population of cells is found in the colon, but these cells do not appear to generate regular slow wave potentials, as characteristic in more proximal gut regions. Ca handling mechanisms in ICC-MY of the mouse proximal colon were studied using confocal imaging of muscles from animals expressing GCaMP6f exclusively in ICC.

Kojic acid is a secondary metabolite with strong chelating and antioxidant properties produced by and . Although antioxidants and chelators are important virulence factors for plant pathogens, the ecological role of kojic acid remains unclear. We previously observed a greater gene expression of antioxidants, especially kojic acid, by non-aflatoxigenic when co-cultured with aflatoxigenic Aflatoxin production was also reduced.

This research investigated the impact of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a mycotoxin, on the function of progenitor Leydig cells (PLCs) in prepubertal male rats, focusing on its potential disruption of mitochondrial integrity through mitofusin 1 (MFN1) modulation. In vivo, Sprague Dawley rats received CPA (0.2, 1, 5 mg/kg/day) via gavage from postnatal days 21-28 to evaluate PLC function and mitochondrial morphology using serum hormone levels, histology, qPCR, and Western blot analyses.
