Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) and fluoride (F) affect gut health and potentially damage organs. The present study investigates the interplay between gut bacteria and oxidative stress (measured by MDA level, GSH level, catalase activity, Nrf2 translocation and expression) in zebrafish exposed to F (NaF 15 ppm) and As (AsO 50 ppb) alone or in combination. Combined exposure to As and F reduced gut bacterial alteration and imposed less oxidative stress compared to F- exposure alone.
