Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCopper (I)-Nicotinate Promotes Gene Expression of CYPs that Produce M1 and Q1 in Aflatoxicosed RatsMohammed Salah, Laila Mostafa, Tahia H. Saleem et al.Aflatoxin-contaminated food poses a serious risk to both human and animal health. Copper (1)-nicotinate (Cu+-nicotinate) complex potentiated the prophylactic effect against chronic aflatoxicosis in the experimental animals through the synthesis of less toxic metabolites M1 and Q1 which are easily excreted in urine. To investigate the action of the safety Cu+-nicotinate complex on gene expression of Cytochrome 450 (CYP450) system, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2020 · 8,152 accessesView PDFCite
