Food Additives: Foodborne Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Induce Stronger Adverse Effects in Obese Mice than Non‐Obese Mice: Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis, Colonic Inflammation, and Proteome Alterations (Small 36/2020)

In article number 2001858, Hang Xiao and co‐workers study how oral consumption of food additive TiO 2 (E171, 112 nm) or TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) (33 nm) leads to a series of adverse effects in mice, such as gut microbiota dysbiosis, colonic inflammation, and altered hepatic and colonic proteome. Importantly, TiO 2 NPs produce stronger adverse effects than TiO 2 (E171), and obese mice are more susceptible to these effects.
