abstract：:Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 ) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin found in feeds and in airborne grain dusts. Aflatoxin B1 requires biotransformation to the AFB1-8,9 epoxide (AFBO) by a bioactivation system and subsequent covalent binding to DNA or proteins, to exert its carcinogenic potential. The lung contains cytochrome P450, prost...
