Biomedical Sciences, University CEU Cardenal Herrera, in collaboration with the University of Valencia have confirmed by experiments in vitro and in vivo in experimental animals the potential negative effect for Neuroregeneration a mycotoxin Ochratoxin A, present in many foods, especially cereals and their derivatives. La investigación ha permitido demostrar que la Ocratoxina A afecta a la formación de nuevas neuronas en el cerebro, proceso conocido como neurogénesis, concretamente en la mayor zona neurogénica del cerebro adulto: la zona subventricular. Research has demonstrated that OTA affects the formation of new neurons in the brain, a process known as neurogenesis, particular in larger area neurogenic adult brain: the subventricular zone.
