Research progress of T-2 toxin metabolic kinetics / 中华地方病学杂志

ABSTRACT

As the main pollutant of food crops, T-2 toxin has toxic effects on human and animal digestive system, nervous system, reproductive development and so on. In Kashin-Beck disease related areas in China, the etiological substance of Kashin-Beck disease is the abnormal accumulation of T-2 toxin in the grain produced in the endemic area. The prevention and treatment of Kashin-Beck disease has achieved remarkable results through the comprehensive prevention and control measures, such as changing the production and life style, grain exchange, etc., but there are still pathogenic factors in the external environment of the disease area. In this paper, the metabolic kinetics of T-2 toxin is reviewed, and the physicochemical properties, distribution in the body, metabolic kinetics, biotransformation and damage of T-2 toxin and its metabolites to various organs are described, so as to provide new thinking for the study on the effects of T-2 toxin on various organs of the body.
