Gut microbiota dysbiosis caused by perfluorooctanoic acid can lead to fetal growth retardation through ferroptosis and inflammation [96]
These molecular alterations compromise sperm function, reducing their motility, fertilization capacity, and genetic integrity
For instance, GF mice have modified gut shape, characterized by diminished total intestinal mass, expanded cecum, shorter and thinner villi, and depleted mucus layers, decreased epithelial cell renewal, and impaired intestinal motility 12
Gap junctions are made up of six transmembrane proteins called connexins
In SH-SY5Y/MYCN cells, (M+D)/2 had no effect on cell death, while (M+D+V)/3 increased toxicity at 48 and 72 hours ( Figure 4A )
