✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Many biological assays (bioassays) have been developed to detect fungal toxins (mycotoxins). Few of these assays are as sensitive to mycotoxins as chemical assays or have been shown to be able to detect a wide range of different mycotoxins. Bioassays also suffer from a number of other problems including interference by nonfungal agents and from often being slow and less reproducible than chemical assays for mycotoxins. Bioassays have given little valuable information in their use in the surveillance of food and foodstuffs. Their major value has been in the initial identification and isolation of mycotoxins.

## Abstract The ADAGIO study demonstrated a symptomatic benefit for rasagiline in early Parkinson's disease (PD) and suggested a disease‐modifying effect. Evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis of PD and that this may be the site of effect for rasagiline.
