Aflatoxin M1 Decreases the Expression of Genes Encoding Tight Junction Proteins and Influences the Intestinal Epithelial Integrity

Scientists evaluated the acute cytotoxic effects of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) on intestinal Caco-2 cells. Initially, they checked the morphology and viability of Caco-2 cells after treatment with different concentrations of AFM1 for different time intervals
