The doses used here to investigate the disposition of OTA and its toxicity upon single application to mice with different albumin levels are similar as those used in chronic toxicity studies in mice-fed diets containing 40 ppm of the mycotoxin, equivalent to an intake of 5.6 mg/kg b.w. per day that induced liver and kidney tumors (Bendele et al. 1985; Kanisawa and Suzuki 1978). Here, ALB is linked to kidney neoplasm.
