Effect of PET microplastics on the transcriptomic profile of the liver
The study was conducted to determine the oral exposure to PET microplastics on the global transcriptomic profile of the porcine liver. The piglets were treated for 4 weeks with two concentrations of PET microplastics – 0.1 g/day and 1 g/day. After four weeks, the piglets were euthanized and tissue was collected for further analysis. RNA-Seq was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
