<i>Panax ginseng</i> extract reduces citrinin production and attenuates nephrotoxicity in <i>Monascus purpureus</i>
These findings indicate that P. ginseng can attenuate citrinin production and associated renal toxicity via transcriptional modulation of fungal secondary metabolism, suggesting a potentially effective strategy for the safe development of Monascus-derived functional foods and traditional medicine fermentation products.
