Probiotics inhibit the stunted growth defect of perfluorobutanesulfonate via stress and thyroid axes in zebrafish larvae

Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) is an emerging pollutant in aquatic environments and potently disrupts the early developmental trajectory of teleosts. Considering the persistent and toxic nature of PFBS, it is necessary to develop in situ protective measures to ameliorate the toxic damage of PFBS. Probiotic supplements are able to mitigate the growth retardation defects of PFBS. However, the interactive mechanisms remain elusive. To this end,...
