Alternariol Research Paper
Alternariol (AOH) is a toxic metabolite produced by Alternaria alternata and A. tenuissima, which grow on corn, rice, fruits, vegetables and oilseed. Mycotoxins are biologically active secondary fungal metabolites found as contaminants of food- and feedstuff [1].
Alternariol (0.8 μM) inhibited P4 secretion. Alternariol (1.6 μM) significantly reduced cell viability [1]. Alternariol (0.8 μM) reduced the expression of P450scc protein. Alternariol (1.6 μM) significantly reduced the abundance of α-tubulin and also clearly affected actin protein concentrations. Alternariol specifically inhibited P4 secretion in cultured porcine granulosa cells [1]. Twelve hours of light exposure was sufficient to decrease significantly the production of alternariol
