ABSTRACT
Objective:
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of bisphenol A (BPA) and its substitute, bisphenol F (BPF), on the colonic fecal community structure and function of mice.Methods:
We exposed 6-8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice to 5 mg/(kgâday) and 50 µg/(kgâday) of BPA or BPF for 14 days. Fecal samples from the colon were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing.Results:
Gut microbiome community richness and diversity, species composition, and function were significantly altered in mice exposed to BPA or BPF. This change was characterized by elevated levels of Ruminococcaceae UCG-010 and Oscillibacter and decreased levels of Prevotella 9 and Streptococcus. Additionally, pathways related to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism showed substantial enrichment.Conclusion:
Mice exposed to different BP analogs exhibited distinct gut bacterial community richness, composition, and related metabolic pathways. Considering the essential role of gut bacteria in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, our study highlights the intestinal toxicity of BPs in vertebrates.Palavras-chave
