BDE-209 has a causal relationship with adverse health outcomes. However, research on its effect on bone homeostasis is relatively lacking. This study examined the relationship between BDE-209 exposure and bone health, as well as the underlying mechanisms, using both in vitro and in vivo models.

However, the effect of inhaled MPs on cognitive function has not been adequately studied. Here, a C57BL/6 J mouse model of inhalation exposure to polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs, 5 µm, 60 d) is established by intratracheal instillation.

Previous studies have focused on the associations between specific types of exercise or overall levels of physical activity with accelerated aging, with less attention given to the weekly exercise patterns.
Objective: To explore the relationship between weekly exercise patterns and acceleration of aging among American adults.
Microplastics (MPs) have been found in the air, human nasal cavity, and lung, suggesting that the respiratory tract is one of the important exposure routes for MPs. The lung is a direct target organ for injury from inhaled MPs, but data on lung injury from longer-term exposure to environmental doses of MPs are limited, and the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, C57BL/6 J mice were treated with 5 μm polystyrene (PS)-MPs by intratracheal instillation (0.

This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of BDE-209 on the ovary and tried to improve ovarian function with melatonin. Herein, BDE-209 was administered orally to female SD rats for 60 days.

However, the mechanism of benzene-induced hematopoietic damage remains elusive. Here, we report that benzene exposure causes hematopoietic damage in a dose-dependent manner and is associated with disturbances in gut microbiota-long chain fatty acids (LCFAs)-inflammation axis.

Modulation of intestinal homeostasis by probiotic supplementation has been considered an effective strategy to prevent adverse health effects. However, the role and mechanism of probiotics in benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity are unclear.

Nanoplastics (NPs) can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and induce neurotoxicity, but in-depth mechanism and effective protection strategies are lacking. Here, C57BL/6 J mice were treated with 60 μg polystyrene NPs (PS-NPs, 80 nm) by intragastric administration for 42 days to establish NPs exposure model.

Objective: To study the effects of fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))exposure to cognitive function and intestinal flora abundance and diversity in adult male mice.
Methods: The SPF grade male C57 BL/6 J mice with 8 weeks old were randomly divided into control group(NS group), PM_(2.
Objective: To study the renal damage of indium sulfate.
Methods: 32 healthy Wistar rats were randomly and equally divided into 3 dose groups( 52. 3 mg/kg、104.
Objective: To investigate the genotoxic effect of indium chloride using the in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test, and to provide scientific basis for the evaluation of the toxicity of indium compounds.
Methods: Thirty two healthy male adult SPF Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into four groups( control group, 0. 065, 0.
