Listen "Fighting Citrinin: The Protective Power of Sea Bass and Spirulina Extracts"

Episode Synopsis

This study investigates the cytoprotective effects of extracts from fish by-products (specifically sea bass heads) and Spirulina microalgae in mitigating the toxicity of citrinin, a harmful mycotoxin, in SH-SY5Y cells. The results show that these natural extracts enhance cell viability and reduce citrinin-induced apoptosis, suggesting potential applications in food safety and health protection. However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying these protective effects. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/foods13121932
