Abstract excerpt
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widespread mycotoxin in food and a powerful nephrocarcinogen in rats. The mutagenicity of OTA has been extensively investigated but with conflicting results, thus leaving open the mechanistic question for OTA carcinogenicity. Here, we examined the mutagenicity of OTA by using well-standardized mutation assays such as the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) assay in...
