Sub-chronic low-dose arsenic in rice exposure induces gut microbiome perturbations in mice

Long-term consumption of arsenic-contaminated rice has become a public health issue that urgently needs to be addressed. In this study, mice were exposed to arsenic in rice (low dose, 0.91 mg/kg; medium dose, 9.1 mg/kg) for 30 days and 60 days, respectively, and the effects on pathological structure...
