Abstract excerpt
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is bioactivated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A isoforms in humans to generate the highly reactive epoxide intermediate AFB1-8,9-epoxide (AFBO), causing hepatotoxicity and hepatocarcinoma. Due to the unavoidable contamination in their feed, pigs are more likely to be exposed to AFB1 and indirectly harm human health. Therefore, identifying the porcine CYP3A isoforms involved in AFB1-8,9-epoxidation...
