Astaxanthin Alleviates Ochratoxin A-Induced Cecum Injury and Inflammation in Mice by Regulating the Diversity of Cecal Microbiota and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common environmental pollutant found in a variety of foods and grains, and excessive OTA consumption
causes serious global health effects on animals and humans. Astaxanthin (AST) is a natural carotenoid that has anti-inflammatory,
antiapoptotic, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetes, and other biological activities. The present study is aimed at
investigating the effects of AST on OTA-induced cecum injury and its mechanism of action CLICK FOR STUDY
