Validation of Urinary Sphingolipid Metabolites as Biomarker of Effect for Fumonisins Exposure in Kenyan Children.

CONCLUSIONS: Sa and So were detectable in 95.07% and 98.94% of samples respectively. Creatinine adjusted mean levels and standard deviation of Sa, So, and Sa/So ratio were 1.23 ± 2.18, 4.99 ± 8.3, and 0.296 ± 0.587 nM. These results further confirmed findings in studies with human adults, i.e. urinary Sa, So levels, and Sa/So ratio are good biomarkers to assess FNs exposure in children.
