Abstract

The effect of 11 mycotoxins on the ciliary movement of tracheal epithelium from one-day-old chicksin vitro was examined. Sterigmatocystin and diacetoxyscirpenol were most ciliostatically activein vitro; the ciliostatic effect was observed after 2 d if the amount concentration was 30 μg/L. In contrast, patulin stopped the movement of cilia after 2 d only if its concentration was 20 mg/L.
