Arsenic is the most prevalent toxic metalloid in environment. Evidence of mouse models (germ-free or antibiotic treatment) indicates the gut microbiota’s involvement in the metabolism of ingested arsenic. Linking genes to gut microbial arsenic metabolism with altered toxicity and lifetime in the ...
STW 5, a blend of 9 medicinal plant extracts, exhibits promising efficacy in treating functional gastrointestinal disorders, notably irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Nonetheless, its effects on the gastrointestinal microbiome and the role of microbiota on the conversion of its constituents are sti...
The decline in insect populations is indisputable. Currently, the effects of persistent organic pollutants on insect populations have not been sufficiently investigated. Maternal transfer of pollutants is considered to be an inherently correct reason for sex differences in pollutant le...
Environmental exposure to xenoestrogens, i.e., chemicals that imitate the hormone 17β-estradiol, has the potential to influence hormone homeostasis and action. Detailed knowledge of xenobiotic biotransformation processes in cell models is key when transferring knowledge learned from in vitro<...
