Abstract
To date, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has grown to be a predominant health challenge that disturbs the elderly population. Studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the most significant features of AD. Transplantation therapy of healthy mitochondria (mitotherapy), as a novel therapeutic strategy to restore mitochondrial function, is proposed to treat the mitochondria-associated disease. Also, the molecular mechanism of mitotherapy remains unclear. Here, we applied the mitotherapy in AD model mice induced by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition and suggested that autophagy would be an important mechanism of the mitotherapy. After the healthy mitochondria entered the defective neuronal cells damaged by the misfolded Aβ protein, autophagy was activated through the NAD+-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signal. The damaged mitochondria and Aβ protein were eliminated by autophagy, which could also decrease the content of radical oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and extracellular-regulated protein kinases (ERK) phosphorylation increased after mitotherapy, which would be beneficial to repair neuronal function. As a result, the cognitive ability of AD animals was ameliorated in a water maze test after the healthy mitochondria were administrated to the mice. The study indicated that mitotherapy would be an effective approach to AD treatment through the mechanism of autophagy activation.

Abstract
Moniliformin (MON) is a mycotoxin with low molecular weight primarily produced by Fusarium fungi and occurring predominantly in cereal grains. Following a request of the European Commission, the CONTAM Panel assessed the risk of MON to human and animal health related to its presence in food and feed. The limited information available on toxicity and on toxicokinetics in experimental and farm animals indicated haematotoxicity and cardiotoxicity as major adverse health effects of MON. MON causes chromosome aberrations in vitro but no in vivo genotoxicity data and no carcinogenicity data were identified. Due to the limitations in the available toxicity data, human acute or chronic health‐based guidance values (HBGV) could not be established. The margin of exposure (MOE) between the no‐observed‐adverse‐effect level (NOAEL) of 6.0 mg/kg body weight (bw) for cardiotoxicity from a subacute study in rats and the acute upper bound (UB) dietary exposure estimates ranged between 4,000 and 73,000. The MOE between the lowest benchmark dose lower confidence limit (for a 5% response ‐ BMDL05) of 0.20 mg MON/kg bw per day for haematological hazards from a 28‐day study in pigs and the chronic dietary human exposure estimates ranged between 370 and 5,000,000 for chronic dietary exposures. These MOEs indicate a low risk for human health but were associated with high uncertainty. The toxicity data available for poultry, pigs, and mink indicated a low or even negligible risk for these animals from exposure to MON in feed at the estimated exposure levels under current feeding practices. Assuming similar or lower sensitivity as for pigs, the CONTAM Panel considered a low or even negligible risk for the other animal species for which no toxicity data suitable for hazard characterisation were identified. Additional toxicity studies are needed and depending on their outcome, the collection of more occurrence data on MON in food and feed is recommended to enable a comprehensive human risk assessment.

Abstract
A very large number of filamentous fungi has been reported to produce the small lactone mycotoxins patulin, penicillic acid and moniliformin. Among the 167 reported fungal producers of patulin, only production by 29 species could be confirmed. Patulin is produced by 3 Aspergillus species, 3 Paecilomyces species, 22 Penicillium species from 7 sections of Penicillium, and one Xylaria species. Among 101 reported producers of penicillic acid, 48 species could produce this mycotoxin. Penicillic acid is produced by 23 species in section Aspergillus subgenus Circumdati section Circumdati, by Malbranchea aurantiaca and by 24 Penicillium species from 9 sections in Penicillium and one species that does not actually belong to Penicillium (P. megasporum). Among 40 reported producers of moniliformin, five species have been regarded as doubtful producers of this mycotoxin or are now regarded as taxonomic synonyms. Moniliformin is produced by 34 Fusarium species and one Penicillium species. All the accepted producers of patulin, penicillic acid and moniliformin were revised according to the new one fungus – one name nomenclatural system, and the most recently accepted taxonomy of the species.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a key pathogen of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children under 6 years of age. The antiviral potency of antioxidant isochlorogenic acid C (ICAC) extracted from foods was evaluated in cellular and animal models. First, the cytotoxicity of ICAC on Vero cells was investigated. The viral plaques, cytopathic effects and yield induced by EV71 infection were obviously reduced by ICAC, which was consistent with the investigation of VP1 transcripts and protein expression. Moreover, the mortality, weight loss and limb paralysis of mice caused by EV71 challenge were remarkably relieved by ICAC injection, which was achieved through decreases in the viral load and cytokine secretion in the mouse brain. Further biochemical assays showed that ICAC modulated several antioxidant enzymes involved in reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG) homeostasis, including glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), resulting in restoration of the GSH/GSSG ratio and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Finally, the antiviral effects of ICAC were dose-dependently disrupted by BSO, a biosynthesis inhibitor of GSH. This study indicated that ICAC acted as an antioxidant and prevented EV71 infection by modulating the redox homeostasis of glutathione.

Abstract
This study investigated the diversity of fungal metabolites in maize across four agro-ecological zones of Malawi. A total of 90 maize samples (for human consumption), collected from farmsteads, were analysed for 235 fungal metabolites using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 65 metabolites were found in the samples. 75% of samples from the hottest agro-ecological zone contained either aflatoxins, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone; or a combination thereof in levels exceeding European Union (EU) maximum levels, whereas the related fraction was only 17% in the cool temperature zone. Aflatoxins, citrinin, 3-nitropropionic acid, monocerin and equisetin were most prevalent and in higher levels in samples from hot agro-ecological zones, whereas deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, zearalenone and aurofusarin were most prevalent in cool agro-ecologies. On the basis of per-capita maize consumption, estimated daily intakes for all samples from hot ecologies were well above the JECFA's provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) of 2.0 μg/kg body weight (bw)/day for fumonisins, whereas the PMTDI of 1.0 μg/kg bw/day for deoxynivalenol was exceeded in relatively more (90%) samples from the cool highlands than the other zones. These results demonstrate the influence of micro-climatic conditions on mycotoxin prevalence patterns and underscores the need for development of agro-ecological specific mycotoxin dietary exposure management strategies.

Abstract
Moniliformin is a Fusarium mycotoxin mainly produced by several species infecting grains in different climatic conditions. According to our previous studies, it is acutely toxic to rats, with an LD50 cut-off value of 25mg/kg b.w. To further assess the possible health risks of low dose exposure to moniliformin, a subacute oral toxicity study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats, adapting OECD guideline 407. Five dose groups and two satellite groups, each consisting of five male rats, were daily exposed to moniliformin by gavage. Two rats in the highest dose group, showed decreased activity followed by acute heart failure and death. The rats of the lower doses (<9mg/kg b.w.) showed no signs of toxicity. The daily intake of moniliformin strongly reduced the phagocytic activity of neutrophils in all dose groups. The decrease continued in the satellite group during the follow-up period, indicating a severe impact on the immune system and a LOAEL value of 3mg/kg b.w. for moniliformin. Moniliformin was rapidly excreted into urine, ranging between 20.2 and 31.5% daily and showed no signs of accumulation. The concentration of moniliformin in faeces was less than 2%, which suggests efficient absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Exposure to mycotoxins occurs worldwide, even though there are geographic and climatic differences in the amounts produced and occurrence of these substances.Mycotoxins are secondary chemical metabolites of different fungi. They are natural contaminants of cereals, so their presence is often inevitable. Among many genera that produce mycotoxins, Fusarium fungi are the most widespread in cereal-growing areas of the planet. Fusarium fungi produce a diversity of mycotoxin types, whose distributions are also diverse. What is produced and where it is produced is influenced primarily by environmental conditions, and crop production and storage methods. The amount of toxin produced depends on physical (viz., moisture, relative humidity, temperature, and mechanical damage), chemical (viz., carbon dioxide,oxygen, composition of substrate, insecticides and fungicides), and biological factors (viz., plant variety, stress, insects, spore load, etc.). Moisture and temperature have a major influence on mold growth rate and mycotoxin production.Among the most toxic and prevalent fusaria) toxins are the following: zearalenone,fumonisins, moniliformin and trichothecenes (T-2/HT-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol,diacetoxyscirpenol, nivalenol). Zearalenone (ZEA; ZON, F-2 toxin) isaphy to estrogenic compound, primarily a field contaminant, which exhibits estrogenic activity and has been implicated in numerous mycotoxicoses of farm animals,especially pigs. Recently, evidence suggests that ZEA has potential to stimulate the growth of human breast cancer cells. Fumonisins are also cancer-promoting metabolites,of which Fumonisin 8 I (FBI) is the most important. Moniliformin (MON) isalso highly toxic to both animals and humans. Trichothecenes are classified as gastrointestinal toxins, dermatotoxins, immunotoxins, hematotoxins, and gene toxins.T-2 and HT-2 toxin, and diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS, anguidine) are the most toxic mycotoxins among the trichothecene group. Deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin) and nivalenol although less toxic are important because they frequently occur at levels high enough to cause adverse effects.The presence of mycotoxins in the animal diet can produce significant production losses. Any considerable presence of mycotoxins, in major dietary components,confirms the need to adopt a continuous prevention and control program. Such programs are usually based on several common approaches to minimize mycotoxin contamination in the food chain. Major strategies include preventing fungal growth and therefore mycotoxin formation, reducing or eliminating mycotoxins from contaminated feedstuffs, or diverting contaminated products to low risk uses. Because of the complexity of their chemical structures, mycotoxins also present a major analytical challenge. They are also found in a vast array of feed matrices. Analysis is essential for determining the extent of mycotoxin contamination, for risk analysis, confirming the diagnosis of a mycotoxicosis and for monitoring mycotoxin mitigation strategies.For the future, adequately controlling the mycotoxin problem in the livestock economy will depend on implementing appropriate agricultural management policies,as well as augmenting production and storage systems and analysis methods.Only such policies offer the opportunity to bring solid and long-lasting economical results to the livestock industry that is afflicted with the mycotoxin problem.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are abiotic hazards produced by certain fungi that can grow on a variety of crops. Consequently, their prevalence in plant raw materials may be relatively high. The concentration of mycotoxins in finished products is usually lower than in raw materials. In this review, occurrence and toxicology of the main mycotoxins are summarised. Furthermore, methodological approaches for exposure assessment are described. Existing exposure assessments, both through contamination and consumption data and biomarkers of exposure, for the main mycotoxins are also discussed.

Abstract
Moniliformin is a mycotoxin produced by fungi of the Fusarium genus and occurs as a contaminant of different cereals worldwide. This study describes the first application of isotopically labeled (13)C(2)-moniliformin for the analysis of moniliformin in cereals. Moniliformin is a small and ionic molecule that forms only a single sensitive fragment ion in the collision cell of a tandem mass spectrometer. Therefore, the methods described in the literature for this kind of instrument observe only a single mass transition and show a relatively poor sensitivity. The use of high-resolution mass spectrometry was described to be a suitable alternative technique for the detection of this compound and was therefore applied in this study. The developed method is based on the use of strong anion exchange columns for cleanup prior to HPLC analysis and has a recovery rate of 75.3%, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.7 μg/kg, and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 2.5 μg/kg. Twenty-three different cereal samples were analyzed for their moniliformin content. Twenty of them showed positive results with levels up to 126 ± 12.2 μg/kg.

Abstract
The contamination of the food and feed chain with mycotoxins and the subsequent threat to human health and animal welfare is evident. Today mycotoxin research is still strongly focused on mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and for Fusarium fungi mainly the trichothecenes deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 and HT-2 toxins. However, fungi of the Fusarium genus are clearly capable of synthesising other mycotoxins as well, including moniliformin (MON). The occurrence of MON is worldwide and the levels in grains vary from below the limit of quantification to the highest detected value in maize intended for human consumption being close to 20 mg/kg. In Finland and Norway, the reported levels are typically a few hundreds of micrograms per kilogram. The toxicology of MON is not well understood. It is characterised by major species differences but typically MON evokes myocardiac damage. For MON, No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) has not been established and a provisional Tolerable Daily Intake (pTDI) value has not been proposed. In our risk assessment, we applied a NOAEL value of 10 mg/kg bw/day which is based on our unpublished subchronic exposure experiments. By applying this value in the risk assessment combined with the estimated intakes from food in Finland and Norway, it seems that MON per se does not pose a clear threat to human health at current levels. On the other hand, one needs to bear in mind the concurrent exposure to other mycotoxins and the fact that the risk assessment of mycotoxin mixtures are in their infancy.

Abstract
Most Fusarium species are capable of producing mycotoxins that may cause adverse effects on human or animal health. The most commonly studied Fusarium mycotoxins include trichothecenes, zearalenone and fumonisins. However, it seems that nearly all of the most prevalent Fusarium species infecting grains are also capable of producing other toxic metabolites. The existing studies, although exiguous, have clearly demonstrated that other toxic metabolites of Fusarium spp. are also present in our foods and feeds, occasionally at very high levels. It is apparent that since mycotoxins, including these 'other' metabolites, are natural toxins, they cannot be completely eliminated from food and feed chains. However, scientific studies are needed to determine their true significance. Thus, the mechanism and level of toxicity as well as presence and concentration levels will have to be fully clarified. In this paper, we briefly review the prevalence of the dominant Fusarium species contaminating maize and small-grain cereals worldwide, and the current knowledge on the biological activity as well as the natural occurrence of their selected less-known toxic metabolites. Additionally, the significance of these 'other' Fusarium mycotoxins is discussed.

Abstract
A novel HPLC method was developed for detection of the Fusarium mycotoxin, moniliformin in whole maize plants. The method is based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) on a ZIC zwitterion column combined with diode array detection and negative electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI(-)-MS). Samples were extracted using acetonitrile-water (85:15), and the extracts were cleaned up on strong anion exchange columns. By this procedure we obtained a recovery rate of 57-74% moniliformin with a limit of detection at 48 ng/g and a limit of quantification at 96 ng/g using UV detection at 229 nm, which is comparable to current methods used. Limit of detection and quantification using ESI(-)-MS detection was 1 and 12 ng/g, respectively. Screening of maize samples infected with the moniliformin producing fungi F. avenaceum, F. tricinctum, or F. subglutinans detected moniliformin levels of 1-12 ng/g in 15 of 28 samples using ESI(-)-MS detection. To our knowledge this is the first example of HILIC separation in mycotoxin analysis.

Abstract
Fusarium subglutinans causes maize ear rot and contaminates grain with the mycotoxin moniliformin. Previous DNA sequence analysis divided F. subglutinans from maize into two cryptic species, designated groups 1 and 2. Here, it was determined whether the two groups differ in the agriculturally important traits of virulence on maize and moniliformin production in planta. Thirty-seven strains from U.S. maize were assigned to groups 1 and 2 by DNA sequence analysis. In field tests, all strains were highly virulent on maize inbred B73 and four maize hybrids. In planta, 82% of group 1 strains and 25% of group 2 strains produced high levels (100-1500 microg/g) of moniliformin. All group 2 strains from more northern states produced little or no moniliformin (0-5 microg/g). These data indicate that moniliformin production is highly variable in F. subglutinans from U.S. maize and that production may not be required for the fungus to cause maize ear rot.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites produced by Fusarium spp. including beauvericin, enniatin and moniliformin are mycotoxins identified in cereal samples. The two cyclohexadepsipeptide mycotoxins beauvericin and enniatin have cytotoxic, antibiotic, insecticidal and ionophoric properties, while moniliformin primarily acts as a cardiotoxic mycotoxin. In this study, we examined the electromechanical and electrophysiological effects of moniliformin and moniliformin with ionophoric mycotoxins on cells (ventricular myocytes, Caco-2 cells) and in multicellular preparations (papillary muscles and terminal ilea of the guinea pig). Additionally, we investigated the influence of moniliformin on cell homeostasis in absence and presence of the cyclodepsipeptide mycotoxins (ventricular myocytes, Caco-2 cells). Experiments were performed using isometric measurements of contractility, intracellular microelectrode and patch-clamp techniques, and fluorescence imaging. While ionophoric cyclohexadepsipeptides affect action potential parameters and cell homeostasis, moniliformin did not change spontaneous rates of activity or cardiac action potentials. Furthermore, moniliformin had no effect on intracellular concentrations of ions and ATP, and did not affect pH. Moniliformin reduced contractility in papillary muscle, terminal ileum, the aorta and the pulmonary artery. However, moniliformin did not alter beauvericin and enniatin induced effects. From our studies, we conclude that moniliformin is not solely a cardiotoxic secondary metabolite, but also exerts its effects on smooth muscle. Moreover, there is no synergistic relationship between moniliformin and the concurrently produced cyclohexadepsipeptide mycotoxins beauvericin and enniatin.

Abstract
Fusarium mycotoxins occur worldwide in cereal grains and animal feeds and cause outbreaks of Fusarium mycotoxicoses in humans and animals. In this study mammalian cell cultures were used to screen the cytotoxicity of the most common Fusarium mycotoxins; deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) and moniliformin (MON). The most sensitive cell line for each Fusarium mycotoxin was determined for further toxicological investigations as an alternative to whole animal testing. Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were found to be the most sensitive for DON and FB(1) with IC(50) values of 0.27 and 85.5 microg/ml, respectively, after 48-h exposure. The hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) showed the highest sensitivity to MON with IC(50) values of 39.5 for 48 h and 26.8 microg/ml for 72-h exposure. Balb/c mice keratinocyte cell line (C5-O) was found to be the most sensitive to ZEN with IC(50) of 24.1 microg/ml after 72-h exposure. DON was found the most cytotoxic to the cell cultures of all the mycotoxins tested, followed by MON, ZEN, and FB(1). The results indicated that CHO-K1, C5-O, and HepG2 cells were found to be the sensitive cell lines for preliminary screening of DON, ZEN and MON contaminated feed and food extracts, respectively.

Abstract
Norwegian grain samples (73 oats, 75 barley, 83 wheat) from the 2000-02 growing seasons were examined for contamination with moniliformin, and the association between the fungal metabolite and the number of kernels infected with common Fusaria was investigated. Before quantification of moniliformin using ion pairing reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array ultraviolet light detection, all samples were extracted using acetonitrile/water (84/16) and disposable strong anion exchange columns used for clean up. The limit of detection was 40 microg kg(-1). Moniliformin was found in 25, 32 and 76% of the barley, oats and wheat samples, respectively. The maximum concentrations of moniliformin in barley, oats and wheat were 380, 210 and 950 microg kg(-1), respectively. At the same time, the prevalence and infection level of the moniliformin-producing F. avenaceum/arthrosporioides was as high as 100 and >53% on average, respectively. Moniliformin concentrations were significantly correlated to the variables grain species, growing season and infection with F. avenaceum/arthrosporioides and F. culmorum. The survey indicates that the prevalence of moniliformin in Norwegian grain is high, especially in wheat. On the other hand, field conditions in Norway do not seem to favour contamination of grain with high levels of moniliformin.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic secondary metabolites of fungi that may be present in food and feed. Several of these mycotoxins have been associated with human and animal diseases. Fusarium species, found worldwide in cereals and other food types for human and animal consumption, are the most important toxigenic fungi in northern temperate regions. The overall economical loss and the detrimental health effects in humans and animals of mycotoxin contamination are enormous and therefore, rapid screening methods will form an important tool in the protection of humans and animals as well as to minimize economical losses by early detection. An overview of methods for the determination of cytotoxicity and the application of such bioassays to screen solid fungal cultures, cereals, respectively, food/feedstuffs for the presence and toxic potential of Fusarium mycotoxins is presented. Various cell lines including different endpoints of toxicity using vertebrate cells and the predictive value of the in vitro assays are reviewed. Bioassays are compared with existing chemical analytical methods and the possibilities and limitations of such systems are discussed. The review is based on 149 references.

Abstract
In two studies, the effects of moniliformin (M)-contaminated diets from Fusarium fujikuroi culture material on growing barrows were evaluated. In the first study, six barrows (three replicates of two each, mean body weight = 17.8 kg) per group (four groups; 24 barrows total) were fed diets calculated to contain 0 mg M/kg feed (control); 25 mg M/kg feed; 50 mg M/kg feed; or 100 mg M/kg feed for 28 days. In the second study, the same experimental design and numbers of barrows (mean body weight = 15.3 kg) were used, and diets were formulated to contain 0 mg M/kg feed (control); 50 mg M/kg feed; 100 mg M/kg feed; or 200 mg M/kg feed. Diets of 100 mg or 200 mg M/kg feed reduced body weight, body weight gain, and feed consumption. Serum biochemical analytes were affected by 100 to 200 mg M/kg feed. Hematologic values were affected by 50, 100, and 200 mg M/kg feed. In the first study, one barrow in the 100 mg M-treated group died, and in the second study. one barrow died in the 100 mg M-treated group, and five barrows died in the 200 mg M-treated group. Relative heart weight was increased in the 200 mg M-treated barrows, yet tissues from organs collected from treatment groups were generally histologically unimpressive. The most consistent sign of M toxicity in barrows appeared to be death induced within 2 to 5 days by 100 to 200 mg M/kg feed.

Abstract
Effects of feeding diets containing fumonisin B1 (FB1) and moniliformin (M), singly or in combination, on performance and immune response were evaluated in poults. Day-old poults were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments with four replicates of four poults each. Dietary treatments were 1) control; 2) 200 mg FB1, 0 mg M/kg diet; 3) 0 mg FB1, 100 mg M/kg diet; and 4) 200 mg FB1, 100 mg M/kg diet. In Experiment 1, poults were injected with 0.25 mL Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine on Weeks 2 and 3 of the experiment, and anti-NDV antibody titers were measured 7 d after each injection. Compared with controls, poults fed FB1 had significantly lower (P < 0.05) secondary antibody response. Poults fed M and the combination of FB1 and M had significantly lower (P < 0.05) primary and secondary antibody response. Lower relative thymus weights were observed in poults fed diets containing FB1 or M. Decreased relative bursa and spleen weights were observed in poults fed M. In Experiment 2, poults were placed on dietary treatments for 3 wk. On Day 21, 2 x 10(6) peripheral lymphocytes were incubated with mitogens. Poults fed diets containing FB1 had a significantly lower (P < 0.05) proliferative response to mitogens in comparison to controls. In Experiment 3, poults were placed on the diets for 3 wk and were injected with 4.4 x 10(7) E. coli/kg body weight on Day 21. Significantly higher (P < 0.05) numbers of E. coli colonies were observed in the blood and tissue homogenates of poults fed M. In all three experiments, feed intake and body weight gains were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in turkeys fed diets containing M. Data from the present study suggest that FB1 and M are immunosuppressive in poults and that M not only suppresses immune response but also performance. However, neither synergistic nor additive effects between FB1 and M were observed for any of the parameters measured.

Abstract
The effects of feeding diets containing either 20 mg deoxynivalenol (DON)/kg, 100 mg moniliformin (M)/kg, or a combination of DON and M (20 mg/kg DON and 100 mg M/kg) were evaluated in growing turkey poults, from 1 to 21 d of age. Feed intake and BW gains were decreased (P < 0.05) by dietary treatments containing M. Feed conversion was not affected by any of the dietary treatments, and no interactive effects on performance were evident between M and DON. Absolute weights of hearts and kidneys were increased (P < 0.05) in poults fed diets containing M. Mean cell volume was decreased by the M and DON-M treatments; however, the decrease was much smaller in poults fed the combination DON-M treatment resulting in a significant (P < 0.05) DON by M interaction. Mean cell hemoglobin and mean cell hemoglobin concentrations were not affected by any of the dietary treatments. No histological lesions were seen in control poults or poults fed DON alone. Lesions associated with dietary treatments were only observed in the heart and kidney. Poults fed diets containing M alone or the DON-M combination exhibited an increased incidence of variable sized cardiomyocyte nuclei, with numerous large giant nuclei, and a generalized loss of cardiomyocyte cross striations. Isolated renal tubules in sections of kidney were noted to have mild diffuse mineralization in poults fed M and the combination DON-M treatments. None of the response variables measured were affected by DON alone. No toxic synergy was observed when these toxins were fed simultaneously to turkey poults for 21 d.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to moniliformin results in the development of myocardial hypertrophy and degeneration. The cause of this hypertrophy is unknown. However, moniliformin-induced hypoxia or altered function of cardiac pyruvate dehydrogenase, rather than direct cardiostimulation have been proposed as potential mechanisms. Isolated guinea pig atria were used in a cumulative concentration-response model to evaluate the direct effect of moniliformin on the rate and force of atrial contraction. Moniliformin did not affect the rate or force of atrial contraction. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that moniliformin does not have a cardiostimulatory effect. Therefore cardiac stimulation. e.g. stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors, is unlikely to be the cause of the myocardial hypertrophy observed in poultry chronically intoxicated with moniliformin.

Abstract
L6 myoblasts were used as an in vitro model to investigate the role of moniliformin and its interaction with monensin in turkey knockdown syndrome and sudden death syndromes in poultry. Cell viability and microscopic and ultrastructural alterations noted in L6 myoblasts cultured in the presence of moniliformin (0.0-0.3 microgram/microliter) were compared to those observed in parallel cultures also containing one of the following compounds: selenium (0-0.004 ng/microliter), thiamine (0-0.3 microgram/microliter), or pyruvate (0-0.46 microgram/microliter). Marked dilation of the RER, membranous whorls, glycogen deposition, membrane-bound cytoplasmic inclusions and necrosis were observed in myoblasts exposed to 0.03-0.30 microgram moniliformin/microliter medium. Supplementation of medium with thiamine and pyruvate, or selenium, provided significant protection to cells exposed to 0.0-0.3 microgram/microliter or 0.0-0.15 microgram moniliformin/microliter, respectively. Dose-dependent differences in protein and ATP production were not detected. Myoblasts grown in medium containing 0-0.15 microgram moniliformin/microliter and 7.5-50.0 microM A23187, beauvericin or monensin had degrees of cytotoxicity similar to parallel cultures receiving only an ionophore. L6 myoblasts were a useful model of moniliformin toxicosis. The findings of this study suggest cytotoxicity due to moniliformin in L6 myoblasts may be due in part to oxidative damage and altered pyruvate metabolism, and that moniliformin does not predispose myoblasts to ionophore toxicosis. This study supports the results of in vivo investigations in poultry that moniliformin and monensin do not act synergistically to induce knockdown or monensin toxicosis.

Abstract
The toxicity of Fusarium proliferatum M-7176 cultured on corn (FPC) and nutritional intervention were investigated in baby chicks (New Hampshire x Single Comb White Leghorn) in three 2-wk feeding experiments. In Experiment 1, 30% FPC decreased weight gain (P < .05) and increased relative heart weight (RHW) (P < .01). Experiment 2 included a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of FPC (0 or 30%) and Se (0 or 5 mg/kg) and two detached treatments of Se (2.5 mg/kg) or thiamin (B1, 25 mg/kg) supplementations to 30% FPC. Only B1 was inhibitory to the toxic effects of FPC on weight gain, feed efficiency, and RHW (P < .05). Experiment 3 included 2 x 2 factorial arrangement between FPC (0 or 30%) and Se (0 or 4 mg/kg), or B1 (0 or 50 mg/kg), or vitamin E (0 or 50 IU/kg) and additional supplementations of Se (2 mg/kg), B1 (10 or 25 mg/kg), or E (10 IU/kg) to 30% FPC. A new batch of FPC was used and it caused 36% mortality. Vitamin E did not interact with FPC, but SE interacted with FPC only on RHW (P < .01). Thiamin interacted with FPC on all measured variables with significance ranging from P < .1 to P < .01. Supplementation of B1 as low as 10 mg/kg was inhibitory to some toxic effects of FPC. However, B1 as high as 50 mg/kg did not completely negate the cardiotoxicity. Water-extractable B1 in FPC diets was 13 to 27% of the control diets. Water extract of FPC reduced B1 recovery from a standard solution by 40%. The anti-thiamin factor was heat-sensitive. Both fumonisins and moniliformin were present in FPC. However, the results indicate that the anti-thiamin factor is also a major toxic factor of F. proliferatum M-7176.
