Martins, Carla; Assunção, Ricardo; Costa, Ana; Serrano, Débora; Visintin, Lia; De Boevre, Marthe; Lachat, Carl; Vidal, Arnau; De Saeger, SarahEarly-life exposure occurs during gestation through transfer to the fetus and later, during lactation. Recent monitoring data revealed that the Portuguese population is exposed to mycotoxins, including young children. This study aimed to develop a pilot study to assess the early-life exposure to mycotoxins through a mother-child cohort, and to identify the associated challenges. Participants were recruited duri...

Deoxynivalenol exposure assessment through a modelling approach of food intake ...
Martins, Carla; Torres, Duarte; Lopes, Carla; Correia, Daniela; Goios, Ana; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; Vidal, Arnau; De Boevre, MartheDeoxynivalenol (DON), an enteropathogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, is usually associated with adverse health outcomes such as gastrointestinal diseases and immunotoxicity. To estimate DON exposure of the Portuguese population at national level, a modelling approach, based on data from 94 Portuguese volunteers, was developed considering the inputs of the food consumption data generated within the ...
earlyMYCO – a mother & child cohort in Portugal
Assunção, Ricardo; Martins, Carla; Costa, A.; Serrano, D.; De Boevre, Marthe; Vidal, A.; De Saeger, Sarah; Alvito, Paula; Vidigal, C.; Almeida, E.Background: Early-life exposure occurs during gestation through transfer of toxic substances present in the maternal diet to the fetus and later on, during lactation, through the breast milk. Food chemical contaminants as mycotoxins are well known carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic and immunosuppressive compounds. Recent human biomonitoring data revealed that Portuguese population is exposed to mycotoxins. ...
Dietary exposure to aflatoxins in the Portuguese population – the use of biomon...
Martins, Carla; Vidal, Arnau; De Boevre, M.; De Saeger, Sarah; Nunes, Carla; Torres, Duarte; Goios, Ana; Lopes, Carla; Alvito, Paula; Assunção, RicardoBackground: Human biomonitoring (HBM) is an important tool to assess the human exposure to chemicals, contributing to describe trends of exposure over time and to identify population groups that could be under risk. Aflatoxins (AFTs) are genotoxic and carcinogenic compounds causing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In Portugal, scarce data are available regardin...

Food Consumption Data as a Tool to Estimate Exposure to Mycoestrogens
Martins, Carla; Torres, Duarte; Lopes, Carla; Correia, Daniela; Goios, Ana; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; Vidal, Arnaud; De Boevre, M.Zearalenone and alternariol are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium and Alternaria species, respectively, that present estrogenic activity and consequently are classified as endocrine disruptors. To estimate the exposure of the Portuguese population to these two mycotoxins at a national level, a modelling approach, based on data from 94 Portuguese volunteers, was developed considering as inputs: i) the food consump...

Human biomonitoring of multiple mycotoxins in the Portuguese population: streng...
Martins, Carla; De Boevre, Marthe; De Saeger, Sarah; Nunes, Carla; Torres, Duarte; Goios, A.; Lopes, Carla; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; Vidal, A.Mycotoxins constitute a relevant group of food contaminants with associated health outcomes such as estrogenic, immunotoxic, nephrotoxic and teratogenic effects. Although scarce data are available in Portugal, human biomonitoring (HBM) studies have been globally developed to assess the exposure to mycotoxins at individual level. This study aimed to present data for mycotoxins’ urinary biomarkers within a human ...
earlyMYCO project - Early-life exposure to mycotoxins: a neglected issue?
Alvito, Paula; Amador, P.; Broeiro, Paula; Caldeira, T; De Boevre, Marthe; De Saeger, Sarah; Duarte, E.; Ferreira, M.; Lamy, Elisabete; Mexia, R.Recent studies under MYCOMIX project reported that Portuguese children until 3 years old are exposed to multiple mycotoxins through food consumption, constituting a potential health threat. Aflatoxins (carcinogenic toxins) represented the main risk contributors and deoxynivalenol (a non-carcinogenic toxin associated with immunological and gastrointestinal toxic effects) showed the highest daily intake of the st...
