Lycopene mitigates T-2 toxin-induced systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in association with gut microbiota and SCFAs regulation in mice

T-2 toxin is a trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species and can cause disease after contaminated food or feed ingestion. This study aimed to investigate the impact of lycopene (Ly) on systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysbiosis in mice exposed to T-2 toxin....

Deoxynivalenol-induced intestinal toxicity in piglets is mediated by multi-kingdom microbial dysbiosis and metatranscriptomic reprogramming

Mycotoxin contamination of feed and food, particularly with deoxynivalenol (DON), poses significant threats to intestinal health in livestock, yet the role of gut fungi (mycobiota) and fungal-bacterial interactions remains unclear. Across four piglet experiments integrating multi...
