Abstract
Environmental pollution caused by plastics has become a public health problem. However, the effect of microplastics on gut microbiota, inflammation development and their underlying mechanisms are not well characterized. In the present study, we assessed the effect of exposure to different amounts of polyethylene microplastics (6, 60, and 600 μg/day for 5 consecutive weeks) in a C57BL/6 mice model. Treatment with a high concentration of...
