Dr. Milán Krisztián Balogh - MATE Research
Overview
Dr. Krisztián Milán Balogh's main research area is animal nutrition, nutritional physiology and toxicology. More specifically he is focused on the biological antioxidant system of animals, the effect of free radicals as well as the consequence of the oxidative stress caused by them. He investigates the amount and activity of the glutathione redox system and parameters of the lipid peroxidation processes, as well as several clinical biochemical parameters in different animal tissues. He also examines the toxicity of selenium in poultry and fish species and also in soil living organism (Collembola). Additionally he studies the effect of different xenobiotics (mycotoxins and their metabolites, certain heavy metals) on lipid peroxidation and glutathione redox systems in vertebrate farm animal and laboratory animal species.
