Summary
This study reports that sodium butyrate, a postbiotic compound, mitigated microplastic-induced hypertension and kidney dysfunction in juvenile rats by reducing oxidative stress, modulating the gut microbiota, and elevating butyric acid levels.
Sodium butyrate holds potential for mitigating MP-induced hypertension by reducing oxidative stress, modulating the gut microbiota, and elevating butyric acid levels.
