## Abstract The frequent occurrence of ochratoxin A (OA) in food and feed commodities and the high incidence of human exposure, as confirmed by different surveillance studies initiated several investigations devoted to elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying OA toxicity. Previous studies in
Iron is indispensible for life, essential for such processes as oxygen transport, electron transfer, and DNA synthesis. Because of iron's virtual insolubility and potential toxicity, specialized mechanism and molecules for its acquisition, transport, and storage in a soluble, nontoxic form have evol
