Chronic exposure to low doses of Pb induces hepatotoxicity at the physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic levels of mice.

Lead (Pb), a non-essential heavy metal, is a major global environmental contaminant with serious toxicological consequences. In the present study, the effects on hepatotoxicity of mice with chronic exposure to low doses of Pb were evaluated. While oral exposure to 0.

Effects of short term lead exposure on gut microbiota and hepatic metabolism in adult zebrafish.

Lead (Pb) is one of the most prevalent toxic, nonessential heavy metals that has been associated with a wide range of toxic effects in humans and environmental animals. Here, effects of short time exposure to 10 and 30 μg/L Pb on gut microbiota and hepatic metabolism were analyzed in adult male zebrafish. We observed that both 10 and 30 μg/L Pb increased the volume of mucus in the gut.

Chronic exposure to low concentrations of lead induces metabolic disorder and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota in mice.

Unlabelled: Lead (Pb) is one of the most prevalent toxic, nonessential heavy metals that can contaminate food and water. In this study, effects of chronic exposure to low concentrations of Pb on metabolism and gut microbiota were evaluated in mice. It was observed that exposure of mice to 0.

Polystyrene microplastics induce microbiota dysbiosis and inflammation in the gut of adult zebrafish.

Microplastic (MP) are environmental pollutants and have the potential to cause varying degrees of aquatic toxicity. In this study, the effects on gut microbiota of adult male zebrafish exposed for 14 days to 100 and 1000 μg/L of two sizes of polystyrene MP were evaluated. Both 0.

Insights Into a Possible Influence on Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Barrier Function During Chronic Exposure of Mice to Imazalil.

The fungicide imazalil (IMZ) is widely used to prevent and treat fungal diseases in plants and animals. Here, male adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 0.1, 0.
