The study investigates how exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) may influence the relationship between the gut microbiota and liver metabolism.
The reserachers found the PFAS exposure can alter metboloites produced by the gut microbiota. These changes may affect important processes in the liver, including how it processes fats and produces energy.
The findings provide new insights into the gut-liver axis and how it may contribute to metabolic effects associated with PFAS exposure.
Congratulations to our EDC-MASLD colleagues and all authors involved in this reserach.
