INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF CONSUMPTION OF DON ON SERUM AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF DIFFERENT AGES TARGET POPULATION
The deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin of the family of trichothecenes B; natural contaminant of grains and their products. The presence of DON in men and animal feed can result in significant health and economic problems as to the man for the livestock sector professionals. The observed effects are variable and many. As for modes of action, they are not yet well known and yet to be explained; knowledge of food habits, the most exposed age groups, purity or non- toxin (DON) allow a better assessment of risks related to the presence of mycotoxins in food consumption broadly, so good fight against the toxic effects of these natural contaminants and understand the impact of this consumption on serum and biochemical parameters. Our contribution in this work is based on analysis and evaluation by a graphical representation of data available on the DON toxin and subsequentlyestablishesacorrelation between the different parameters, namely:
- the food consumption and broad consumer age categories;
- the nature of the contaminated food and its contribution in mycotoxin exposure in the population;
- the DON and its metabolites and their contributions in the exhibition according to age groups.
