Renormalized viscosity, renormalized resistivity, and various energy fluxes are calculated for helical magnetohydrodynamics using perturbative field theory. The calculation is to first-order in perturbation. Kinetic and magnetic helicities do not affect the renormalized parameters, but they induce an inverse cascade of magnetic energy. The sources for the the large-scale magnetic field have been shown to be (1) energy flux from large-scale velocity field to large-scale magnetic field arising due to nonhelical interactions, and (2) inverse energy flux of magnetic energy caused by helical interactions. Based on our flux results, a premitive model for galactic dynamo has been constructed. Our calculations yields dynamo time-scale for a typical galaxy to be of the order of $10^8$ years. Our field-theoretic calculations also reveal that the flux of magnetic helicity is backward, consistent with the earlier observations based on absolute equilibrium theory.
