Tripdatabase

Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics may disrupt gut microbiota composition and metabolic function, noting that while dysbiosis is a likely outcome of exposure, the full scope of these effects in humans remains understudied.

Microplastics may disrupt the gut microbiota, leading to dysbiosis and altered metabolic functions, although the full extent in humans remains under-researched.
