With objectives to explore the interactive mode on the function of liver-gut axis, adult marine medaka were exposed for 7 days to environmentally realistic concentrations of perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) (0 and 10 μg/L) under normoxia or hypoxia condition. Furthermore, PFBS exposure was extended to 21 days to reveal the temporal progression in toxicity. The results showed that hypoxia exposure significantly disturbed lipid metabolism, caused oxidative damage, and induced inflammation in the livers of medaka. The composition of gut microbiota was also drastically shifted by hypoxia acute exposure. In contrast, the effect of PFBS was much milder. Hypoxia was thus the determinant of the combined toxicity. Depending on the exposure duration, a time-course recovery from PFBS innate toxicity was generally noted. Overall, the present study underlines the hypoxic and temporal variation in the dysregulation of liver-gut axis by PFBS, which is expected to support a comprehensive ecological risk assessment.

The liver-gut axis is an important regulatory axis for the host's metabolic functions. The study of liver gene expression, changes in metabolic products and the regulation of gut microbial communities in plateau animals under harsh environments can reveal the mechanisms by which Tibetan goats adapt to the plateau environment. This study employs transcriptome, metabolome and metagenomic analyses to reveal the differences in genes, metabolism, and gut microbiota between Jianzhou big-eared goats (JBG) and Xizang cashmere goats (TCG), which is of significant importance for improving survival models of high-altitude ruminants.

The gut-liver axis and its interactions are essential for host physiology. Thus, we examined the jejunal microbiota, fermentation parameters, digestive enzymes, morphology, and liver metabolic profiles in different growth development lambs to investigate the liver-gut axis's role in their development. One hundred male Hu lambs of similar birth weight and age were raised under the same conditions until they reached 180 days of age.

Environmental heavy metal contamination, combined with inappropriate use of fungicides, has led to the co-existence of lead (Pb) and iprodione (IPR), presenting signification risks to ecosystems and human health. The toxic effects resulting from concurrent exposure to Pb and IPR, however, remain poorly understood. In the study, we conducted a comprehensive 60-day subchronic study to investigate the toxic effects on the liver and gut in parental male zebrafish through employing multi-omics analyses.
