earlyMYCO: A Pilot Mother-Child Cohort Study to Assess Early-Life Exposure to M...
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 ...

Mycotoxins as Endocrine Disruptors – An Emerging Threat
Martins, Carla; Vidal, Arnau; De Boevre, M.; Assunção, R.Zearalenone and alternariol are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium and Alternaria species, respectively, that present estrogenic activity and are considered endocrine disruptors. These mycotoxins are present in a variety of food commodities and the human exposure could be of concern due to the associated health effects. This article intends to gather and systematize key information regarding these mycotoxins consi...
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...

Mycotoxins in adult population from Portugal: Overall results and determinants ...
Vidal, Arnau; De Saeger, Sarah; Sarah, De Saeger; Nunes, Carla; Torres, D.; Goios, A.; Lopes, Carla; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; De Boevre, MartheHuman biomonitoring (HBM) is recognized as an important tool to assess the Human exposure to chemicals, contributing to describe trends and patterns of exposure over time and to identify population groups that could be under risk. Mycotoxins, fungi secondary metabolites that produce toxic effects in humans, are important compounds found in foods usually consumed worldwide in a daily basis. In Portugal, scarce d...
Exposure of Portuguese population to mycoestrogens: a public health concern?
Martins, Carla; Vidal, Arnau; De Saeger, Sarah; Nunes, Carla; Torres, D.; Goios, A.; Lopes, C.; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; De Boevre, M.Alternariol (AOH) and zearalenone (ZEN) are mycotoxins that occur widely in food commodities, with particular incidence in cereals [1,2]. Both mycotoxins present estrogenic effects, therefore, it is crucial to assess the human exposure and the associated risk [2,3]. To date, there is a lack of human studies to assess exposure to ZEN and AOH through biomarkers analysis in Portugal. In the scope of the National F...
