What Are Aflatoxins?, Hans Wohlmuth
Dr Hans Wohlmuth
Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites wh ich are rarely produced by species of mou Ids belonging to the genus Aspergillus. These moulds grow on stored plant foods, in particular peanuts, wheat and corn. In tropical countries an estimated 25% or more of the food may be contaminated with aflatoxins (Raven et al 1992).

An In Vitro Investigation Of Herbs Traditionally Used For Kidney And Urinary System Disorders: Potential Therapeutic And Toxic Effects, Ken Wojcikowski, Hans Wohlmuth, David Johnson, Margaret Rolfe, Glenda Gobe
Dr Hans Wohlmuth
Aim: Renal fibrosis is central to progression of most chronic renal pathologies. Antioxidants that protect the tubular epithelium and anti-fibrotics that induce apoptosis of pro-fibrotic myofibroblasts without adversely affecting tubular epithelium may slow progression of renal fibrosis, while toxic substances may exacerbate renal scarring. We investigated 47 herbs for their in vitro toxic or antioxidant effects on normal renal mammalian fibroblasts (NRK49F) and tubular epithelial cells (NRK52E) to determine their potential value as therapeutic agents in renal fibrosis involving oxidative stress. Methods: Herbs were chosen because of their traditional use in kidney or urinary system disorders, or because of recent …
