The impact of polystyrene nanoplastics on the chicken gut and liver: Based on transcriptomics and microbiomics

Key Points

• Alterations in gene expression and gut microbiota were observed due to polystyrene nanoplastics exposure.
• Chickens exhibited significant changes in liver function, highlighting potential toxicity issues.
• Assessment using transcriptomics and microbiomics demonstrated the impact of nanoplastics on gut health.
• These findings suggest a concerning association between nanoplastics and adverse effects on animal health.
