I would like to thank the authors for publishing this article and propose yet another mechanism behind increased antibiotics bioavailability in the presence of yeast-derived glucomannans. It is known that yeast produce biosurfactants (sometimes up to 120 g/l (Casas J.A. 1999)); in my research I observed that water extracts of a glucomannan-based “mycotoxin binder” exhibited properties of surfacta ...

Awesome rats! Because, according to FAO, the single oral AFB1 LD50 for male rats is 5,5-7,2 mg/kg/bw. Was the toxin concentration expressed not in relation to body weight?

Thanks for a good article. Might I ask how many of the rats died?

Thanks for a good article! What methods were used for ZEA extraction and quantification? Were any ZEA metabolites found in the samples? Best regards, Gorbenko Z.G. ?? ????

1) Why some binders work in one species and do not work in others species? Hawe anyone studied this question?
