Effect of Mycotoxin-Containing Diets on Epigenetic Modifications of Mouse Oocytes by Fluorescence Microscopy Analysis

Abstract excerpt

Mycotoxins, such as aflatoxin (AF), fumonisin B1, zearalenone (ZEA), and deoxynivalenol (DON), are commonly found in many food commodities. Mycotoxins have been shown to increase DNA methylation levels in a human intestinal cell line. We previously showed that the developmental competence of oocytes was affected in mice that had been fed a mycotoxin-containing diet. In this study, we explored possible mechanisms...
