Description

Dongyun Ye and co-authors review how aflatoxins, poisons made by molds in food, harm male fertility in a 2024 paper. The main poison is named AFB1, the strongest of its class. It can hurt the brain, kidneys, liver, and immune system, and concern has grown over its effects on sperm and the organs that make it.

The review lays out how the poison works: oxidative stress, stalled cell cycles, cell death, swelling, and cell self eating. Many signal paths carry these effects. It then sums up shields that helped in studies, from small molecules and herbal extracts to probiotics and camel milk. The authors close with open questions for the field.
