Summary
Researchers compared Chao richness and Shannon diversity indices of fecal microbiota in wild-type and leptin-knockout mice after microplastic treatment, finding that both obesity and microplastic exposure significantly altered gut microbial diversity metrics.
Models
The data are reported as mean ± SD values. *, p < 0.05 compared to the Vehicle-treated group. #, p < 0.05 compared to the WT mice. Abbreviations: WT; wild type, Lep KO; leptin knockout, MP; microplastics.
