“…Os principais fungos toxigênicos produtores de aflatoxinas são: Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus e A. nomius [34,47]. A. flavus produz apenas aflatoxinas do grupo B, enquanto A. parasiticus e A. nomius produzem aflatoxinas dos grupos B e G [10]. As quatro aflatoxinas naturalmente encontradas são: B 1 (AFB 1 ), B 2 (AFB 2 ), G 1 (AFG 1 ) e G 2 (AFG 2 ) [48].…”

A presença de micotoxinas em alimentos é um sério problema para saúde pública e para a qualidade dos alimentos. Por muitos anos, os fungos foram conhecidos pela sua capacidade de produzir metabólitos tóxicos, porém os seus efeitos foram largamente ignorados, tornando as micotoxicoses negligenciadas. Esta situação foi alterada drasticamente após 1960, com a doença X dos perus, quando a atenção mundial se concentrou sobre as micotoxinas. A rapidez na identificação e caracterização das aflatoxinas e a demonstração da aflatoxina B 1 como um carcinógeno extremamente potente ao ser humano e animal, impulsionaram esta mudança [20]. The results presented significant differences between ELISA and TLC (T=12, p=0.0469). The data demonstrate low occurence of aflatoxins in the maize products analysed. Despite this, Average Probable Daily Intake (APDI) of AFB 1 was above Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI), indicating a risk of liver carcinogenicity for Brazilian population due to the consumption of maize products. The ELISA method revealed to be simple, fast, and uses less organic solvent, however, it presented positive and negative presumptive results, what makes necessary the confirmation of the mycotoxins identity by TLC.

“…The most frequent toxigenic fungi in Europe are Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium (Bhat et al, 2010;Creppy, 2002), while the prevalence of specific toxins around the world is as follows: AFLs in Africa and in the Asian continent; AFLs and FUMO in Australia; AFLs, OTA, Table 2.

Placental toxicology deals with the adverse effects of toxic substances on the placenta, the mother and the foetus. It is a fascinating subject which receives attention from biologists, toxicologists, teratologists, pharmacologists, physicians and regulatory agencies. Structural or functional damage to the placenta can lead to abortion, birth defects, stillbirth, premature birth and many other complications. Since the placenta is an entry organ to the foetus, and the ‘placental barrier’ is merely a false notion, the placenta remains vulnerable to the adverse effects of many toxicants. The placenta is a complex organ to study since it continually changes throughout gestation. This organ is further complicated by multiple pregnancies in many species, including humans. The placenta plays several roles in the development of the foetus by serving as the lung, gut, kidney and endocrine/exocrine gland. Additionally, it supplies vital nutrients and gases to the foetus. This chapter describes the placental toxicity of drugs of abuse, alcohol, tobacco products, metals, pesticides, environmental toxicants and mycotoxins.
