18S rRNA gene sequencing for environmental aflatoxigenic fungi and risk of hepatic carcinoma among exposed workers

Continuous exposure to AF-producing fungi caused elevated AF-levels in exposed workers, however only workers with heterozygous GSTT1& M1 genotypes can detoxify AFs, thereby decreasing the risk of HCC development among exposed workers.

Little is known whether occupational exposure to aflatoxin might have a potential hazard. The present work aimed to study the hepatotoxic effects of occupational exposure to AFB1 as a metabolite of…

Carcinogenic effects of aflatoxin B1 among wheat handlers

Wheat handlers exposed to Aspergillus flavus have a high risk of elevated serum AFB1/Alb levels and AFU, and there was a significant correlation between AFU and AFB1-Alb in bakers and between AFP and AF1/alb in HCC cases.

Effects of airborne Aspergillus on serum aflatoxin B1 and liver enzymes in workers handling wheat flour

Chronic occupational exposure to high concentrations of Aspergillus in workplaces may cause elevations in serum levels of AFB1 and liver enzymes in workers exposed to flour dust, Hence, worker protection measures should be consistently adopted and enforced at the workplace.
