Strong Alterations in the Sphingolipid Profile of Chickens Fed a Dose of Fumonisins Considered Safe

Fumonisins (FB) are mycotoxins known to exert most of their toxicity by blocking ceramide synthase, resulting in disruption of sphingolipid metabolism. Although the effects of FB on sphinganine (Sa) and sphingosine (So) are well documented in poultry, little information is available on their other e...
