Abstract

Abstract

Immune function is an important physiological function in the human body that plays a crucial role in maintaining human health. Pyrethroid pesticides （PYRs） and their metabolites can have immunotoxic effects on the body, increasing the risk of immune-related diseases. This review summarizes the effects of PYRs exposure on the body’ s immune organs, immune cells, and immune molecules, as well as the immunotoxic mechanisms, and provides a summary and outlook on the immunotoxicity caused by early-life PYRs exposure, offering new ideas and recommendations for human studies on the immunotoxicity of PYRs exposure.
