Fecal transplantation from young zebrafish donors efficiently ameliorates the lipid metabolism disorder of aged recipients exposed to perfluorobutanesulfonate.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper transplanted the feces from young zebrafish donors to aged recipients, which were concurrently exposed to perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), an emerging environmental pollutant of international concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probiotic supplementation mitigates the developmental toxicity of perfluorobutanesulfonate in zebrafish larvae.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors found that PFBS exposure significantly decreased larval body weight, weight gain and specific growth rate, while probiotic supplementation efficiently inhibited the growth retardation caused by PFBS, and probiotic combinations remarkably activated the antioxidant capacity to timely scavenge the reactive oxidative species and protect the larvae from lipid peroxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probiotics inhibit the stunted growth defect of perfluorobutanesulfonate via stress and thyroid axes in zebrafish larvae

TL;DR: In this article, probiotic supplements are able to mitigate the toxicity of perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) in aquatic environments and potently disrupts the early developmental trajectory of teleosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disturbed glucose metabolism by perfluorobutanesulfonate pollutant and benefit of young fecal transplantation in aged zebrafish.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of young fecal transplant on the metabolic pathways of glucose and glycogen, involving glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis, and glyogenolysis, were explored along the gut-liver axis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolomic profiles in zebrafish larvae following probiotic and perfluorobutanesulfonate coexposure

TL;DR: In this article , the combined effects of PFBS and probiotics on metabolic dynamics, based on which gene transcriptions, enzymatic activities, and behavioral endpoints were further examined, showed that probiotic supplements were the major driver of the metabolomic fingerprints in coexposed zebrafish larvae.

Oral Administration of Probiotics Inhibits Absorption of the Heavy Metal Cadmium by Protecting the Intestinal Barrier

TL;DR: Along with initial intestinal Cd sequestration, probiotics can inhibit Cd absorption by protecting the intestinal barrier, and the protection is related to the alleviation of Cd-induced oxidative stress.

Lactobacillus plantarum TW1-1 Alleviates Diethylhexylphthalate-Induced Testicular Damage in Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Decreasing Inflammation

TL;DR: Oral supplementation of L. plantarum TW1-1 prevents DEHP-induced testicular damage via modulating gut microbiota and decreasing inflammation and correlation analysis showed that the Firm/Bac ratio was negatively correlated with testicularDamage and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probiotic Modulation of Lipid Metabolism Disorders Caused by Perfluorobutanesulfonate Pollution in Zebrafish.

TL;DR: In female fish, the PFBS and probiotic combination enhanced fatty acid synthesis and β-oxidation, but mitigated the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood compared with PFBS single exposure, highlighting the benefits of the probiotic to host health.
