Longevity & Aging Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated Jul 22, 2026

Abstract

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent hepatotoxin linked to health risks in livestock and humans.

AFB1 exposure is associated with significant liver damage.
Beta-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) may offer therapeutic benefits for liver diseases.
The exact mechanism by which NMN protects against AFB1-induced liver injury is not yet understood.
