Calculated dose of fumonisins in rats fed the control diet in the first 13 weeks of the 1-year feeding trial. For the calculations, the amount of the fumonisins B1, B2 and B3 were added up. The red line represents the lowest no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) value reported for fumonisin B1 in rats, i.e. an NOAEL value of 0.2 mg/kg body weight/day for kidney toxicity in a subchronic toxicity study (Voss et al. 1995)
