The gut-brain axis mediates precocious puberty induced by environmentally relevant low-dose endocrine-disrupting chemical mixtures
This review identifies the GBA as a critical and previously underappreciated mechanism for low-dose EDC mixture-induced precocious puberty in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings underscore the need for regulatory paradigms and future research to integrate this pathway when assessing the risks of complex, real-world chemical mixtures.
