Peroxiredoxin II as a metabolic gatekeeper against aflatoxin B1-induced hepatic steatosis: restoration of PPARα/γ balance via mitochondrial ROS scavenging
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a pervasive food contaminant affecting approximately 25% of global staple crops, represents an underrecognized environmental risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study investigates the protective role of peroxiredoxin II (Prx II), a mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme, agains...
