Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, are fire-retardant chemicals that are found everywhere.
Known to disrupt hormones and persist in the environment, these pollutants have been detected in water, soil, air, food products, animals, human tissues, and even breast milk.
A University of California, Riverside , mouse study published in Archives of Toxicology reports that probiotic supplementation can reduce the negative impacts.
Maternal probiotic supplementation protects against PBDE -induced developmental, behavior and metabolic reprogramming in a sexually dimorphic manner.
The study was supported by UC Riverside , UC -Hispanic Serving Institutions Doctoral Diversity Initiative, a Danone North America Gut Microbiome, Yogurt and Probiotics Fellowship Grant.
