Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a harmful toxin created by molds that can harm essential organs like the liver, kidneys, and lungs. In Pakistan, where food contamination is frequent, exposure presents a significant health danger. A new research investigated if mustard green leaves, commonly consumed for their wellness advantages, might offer protection from AFB1.
The results indicated that extract from mustard greens exhibits significant protective properties. AFB1 enhances damaging free radicals, causes inflammation, and encourages cell death, resulting in organ failure. The extract combated these impacts by enhancing the body’s innate defenses, decreasing oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and stopping excessive cellular damage.
It was also discovered to affect important genes, activating ones associated with protection and inhibiting those responsible for cell death. The liver, kidneys, and lungs, which are particularly susceptible to toxins, demonstrated notable improvement. This study verifies that mustard greens are more than just a healthy vegetable—they are a functional food capable of helping prevent organ damage and promoting overall well-being.
