Mycotoxin Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction And Cytotoxicity

Kurt Woeller, DO

Various mycotoxins can have significant adverse effects with regards to cellular function. Through DNA and RNA disruption and/or induction of oxidative stress mycotoxins can lead to various diseases, including cancer. A major target of intracellular mycotoxins are the mitochondria. This lecture by Dr. Kurt Woeller will discuss some of the cytotoxic effects of mycotoxins on mitochondrial function.
