Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”
