Occurrence of deoxynivalenol in an elderly cohort in the UK: a biomonitoring approach (2018)
Journal Article
Papageorgiou, M., Wells, L., Williams, C., White, K. L., De Santis, B., Liu, Y., …Sathyapalan, T. (2018). Occurrence of deoxynivalenol in an elderly cohort in the UK: a biomonitoring approach. Food Additives and Contaminants: Part A: Chemistry, Analysis, Control, Exposure and Risk Assessment, 35(10), 2032-2044. https://doi.org/10.1080/19440049.2018.1508890

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a Fusarium toxin, to which humans are frequently exposed via diet. Although the elderly are speculated to be sensitive to the toxic effects of DON as a result of age-related conditions, disease and altered DON metabolism, ther...

Deoxynivalenol biomarkers in the urine of UK vegetarians (2017)
Journal Article
Wells, L., Hardie, L., Williams, C., White, K., Liu, Y., De Santis, B., …Sathyapalan, T. (2017). Deoxynivalenol biomarkers in the urine of UK vegetarians. Toxins, 9(7), 196. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins9070196

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is produced by Fusarium graminearum and is one of the most commonly occurring trichothecenes. Vegetarians are alleged to be a high-risk group for DON exposure due to high intakes of cereals susceptible to the growth of the mycoto...

Determination of deoxynivalenol in the urine of pregnant women in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Rigby, A., Sathyapalan, T., Wells, L., Atkin, S., Brera, C., De Santis, B., …Williams, C. (2016). Determination of deoxynivalenol in the urine of pregnant women in the UK. Toxins, 8(11), 306. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins8110306

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most commonly occurring trichothecenes, produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum. Little is known about the effect of DON exposure or the levels of DON exposure that occur during pregnancy. The project aimed to provi...
