Open AccessOchratoxin A induces abnormal tryptophan metabolism in the intestine and liver to activate AMPK signaling pathway
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin widely present in raw food and feed materials and is mainly produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum. Our previous study showed that OTA principally induces l...
