Effect of Fungal Toxins on Immunodefic Indicators

Abstract

   Mycotoxins are natural toxins generally caused by some types of mold (fungi) that may be found in foods. Mold (Fungi) grows on (grains, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apples, and coffee seeds). Due to their effective impact on humans and animals, mycotoxins have gained a great deal of attention as studies have shown that mycotoxins are among the most significant causes of human cancer, in particular liver and kidney cancer, in addition to their impact on the suppression of the immune system, as well as inducing genetic defects and congenital malformations. The Codex Alimentarius Commission develops “international standards and codes of practice” to reduce contact to mycotoxin in some foods. The spectrum of effects ranges from severe poisoning to continuing harmful effects such as immunodeficiency and cancer.This work aims to summarize a comprehensive review of the effects and toxicity of the mycotoxins on Immunodefic Indicators.We collect almost 150 published papers from Science direct, PubMed, Elsevier, nature, Wiley, and research gate. Then extract 60 papers, which included quality research (experimental and descriptive study) to write this review paper based. Mycotoxins produced from fungi and know the effect of these toxins on immune indicators. Mycotoxins are fungal metabolism produced and effect on immunity. According to the body's resistance to these toxins, the type of mushroom produced from it and its lethal ability.“Mycotoxins” can contaminate a number of raw materials and affect animals to be at serious health risk. Regulations or guidelines apply at the European level for 6 myotoxins.
