Fumonisins are a class of mycotoxins produced by molds of the genus Fusarium, and fumonisin B1 (FB1) is the most toxic and common fumonisins. As a carotenoid with natural powerful antioxidant capacity found in plants, lycopene (LYC) can enhance immunity, modulate blood lipids, and prevent liver diseases. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a versatile molecule in modulating mitochondrial function with the significance in mitophagy and cellular senescence.

Ferroptosis, a recently characterized form of iron-dependent cell death, is related to a wide range of liver diseases. Ferritinophagy as a novel selective form of autophagy functions in iron processing is essential to induce ferroptosis.

Mycotoxin contamination is a universal agricultural problem and a critical health issue. Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is one of the most toxic and extensive fumonisins that exist in various agro-products and foods. Lycopene (LYC), as a natural carotenoid, is becoming increasingly favored owing to its oxidation resistance.

Mycotoxins are ubiquitous natural pollutants that pose a serious threat to public health. Deoxynivalenol (DON) as one of the most prominent mycotoxins has a noticeable adverse effect on intestinal barrier function, which depends on the intestinal barrier integrity. However, the potential mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies remain unclear.

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is frequently used as a plasticizer to enhance the plasticity and durability of agricultural products, which pose adverse effects to human health and the environment. Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is a main water transport channel protein and is involved in the maintenance of intestinal integrity. However, the impact of DEHP exposure on gut health and its potential mechanisms remain elusive.
