Metabolism of Mycotoxins, Intracellular Functions of Vitamin B12, and Neurological Manifestations in Patients with Chronic Toxigenic Mold Exposures. A Review by Ebere C. Anyanwu, Mohammed Morad, Andrew W. Campbell

“…Since patients with chronic exposures to toxigenic molds manifest vitamin B12 deficiencies, the role of mycotoxins in vitamin B12 metabolism is assessed, and since vitamin B12 plays important biochemical roles in one-carbon metabolism, the synergistic effects with mycotoxins on humans are reviewed. An outline of the proposed mechanism by which mycotoxins disrupt or interfere with the normal functions of vitamin B12 on one-carbon metabolism is proposed. …”

Lipopolysaccharide alters CEBPβ signaling and reduces estradiol production in bovine granulosa cells by Mackenzie J. Dickson, I. Martin Sheldon, John J. Bromfield

“…The transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (CEBPβ) not only facilitates the transcription of LPS regulated cytokines, but also binds to the promoter region of CYP19A1 in humans, mice, and buffalo. We hypothesized that LPS alters CEBPβ signaling to reduce CYP19A1 expression, resulting in decreased estradiol secretion. …”
