Expression of (A) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (B) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in plasma of rats fed different dose of MP-PS and probiotics after 7 weeks. Date are shownas the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 7 rats/group). Con: control; MP-PS1: 1 mg/kg Polystyrene microplastic (MP-PS) per day; MP-PS5: 5 mg/kg MP-PS per day; MP-PS10:10 mg/kg MP-PS per day; MP-PS10 + Pro: 10 mg/kg MP-PS + 108 number of probiotics per day; Pro: 108 number of probiotics. The values with different letters (a–c) represent significantly different (p < 0.05) as analyzed by Duncan’s multiple range test.Expression of (C) testosterone in plasma (D) testis tissue testosterone of rats fed different dose of MP-PS and probiotics after 7 weeks.
