Abstract

Mycotoxin contamination in food, feed, and agricultural products is emerging as a severe problem because these toxic substances can cause various types of poisoning and, consequently, various health problems, from acute and chronic problems to causing animal and human death. Aflatoxin is a mycotoxin produced by several Aspergillus species, especially Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus flavus, related to agricultural commodities cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Apart from interfering with protein synthesis, this toxin is carcinogenic, mutagenic, hepatotoxic, and nephrotoxic. Oxidative stress is an important molecular mechanism for kidney injury in aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) nephrotoxicity
