Food-Origin Mycotoxin-Induced Neurotoxicity: Intend to Break the Rules of Neuroglia Cells

Figure 4

Mycotoxins inhibit glutamate clearance in glial cells. Mycotoxin-mediated astrocyte injury inhibits glutamate uptake and leads to a large accumulation of extracellular glutamate, which eventually induced excitotoxicity, functional impairment, or death of nerve cells.
