Additional Information

This test measures exposure to mycotoxins, toxic compounds produced by molds. Molds grow on various foods and can cause health problems. This test helps identify exposure to specific mycotoxins like Ochratoxin A, Aflatoxins, Trichothecenes, Gliotoxin, and Zearalenone. Early detection can help manage potential health risks associated with mycotoxin exposure. The results provide insights into your mycotoxin levels and potential health implications.

Biomarkers Tested (5)

Ochratoxin A (OTA) (ng/mL)
A toxic substance produced by fungi that commonly contaminates various foods like cereals, coffee and wine. OTA is harmful to the kidneys and a potential carcinogen. Humans are exposed to OTA through contaminated food and drink.
Aflatoxin Group (ng/mL)
Comprises highly toxic compounds produced by fungi, particularly Aspergillus species. They contaminate various foods, posing severe health risks. Exposure occurs through consuming contaminated food and feed can is linked to liver damage and increased cancer risk.
Trichothecene Group (ng/mL)
Consists of toxic compounds produced by fungi like Fusarium and Stachybotrys, often contaminating grains and other crops. These toxins may pose health risks including immune suppression and gastrointestinal issues.
Gliotoxin Derivative (ng/mL)
A toxin produced by moulds, particularly fungi like Aspergillus and Penicillium. Gliotoxin and its derivatives are known for their immunosuppressive and cytotoxic properties.
Zearalenone (ng/mL)
A mycotoxin found in crops like maize, wheat, and barley, produced by fungi like Fusarium. It mimics oestrogen and is linked to reproductive issues in animals.
