Long-Term Exposure to Polystyrene Microspheres and High-Fat Diet–Induced Obesity in Mice: Evaluating a Role for Microbiota Dysbiosis

Microplastics (MPs) have become a global environmental problem, emerging as contaminants with potentially alarming consequences. However, long-term exposure to polystyrene microspheres (PS-MS) and its effects on diet-induced obesity are not yet fully understood.
