Prebiotics may stimulate beneficial gut microorganisms. However, it remains unclear
whether they can lower the oral bioavailability of early life arsenic (As) exposure via …

Environmental toxins pose significant risks to human health and are considered major
contributors to chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Numerous …

There is growing evidence that human gut microbiota can metabolize arsenic (As); however,
which bacteria play roles in this metabolism is unclear. In this study, we measured the …
