Autotoxin
Definition
A toxic substance spontaneously or pathologically produced by one's own organism (through altered cellular metabolism, tissue degradation, or immune dysfunctions), capable of poisoning cells or triggering inflammatory and destructive reactions within the same body. This structural phenomenon underlies the understanding of self-intoxication processes and many chronic autoimmune diseases.
