Article Synopsis
- Mucosal-associated invariant T-cells (MAIT) can respond to metabolites from vitamins produced by gut bacteria, and the study investigates how pesticides chlorpyrifos (CPF) and glyphosate (GLP) affect this interaction.
- The results showed that CPF increased MAIT cell activation from certain bacteria, while GLP generally diminished this activation.
- Exposure to CPF altered the production of vitamins riboflavin and folate by gut bacteria and modified their biosynthesis pathways, suggesting potential pro-inflammatory immune responses due to pesticide exposure.
