Toxins in the Gastrointestinal Tract
- Molecular classification
- Bacterial exotoxin, Bacterial endotoxin, Mycotoxin, Chemical/toxicant
01
Overview
Toxins in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract refer to a diverse group of chemical, biological, and microbial substances that can cause harm when present within the digestive system. These toxins may be ingested directly through contaminated food or water, produced by pathogenic microorganisms within the gut, or generated as metabolic byproducts. Their effects range from mild discomfort to severe tissue damage and systemic illness.
