Reconsidering the Use of Dimethyl Sulfoxide for Xenobiotic-Gut Microbiota Interaction Studies
Introduction: Gut microbiota are vulnerable to foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) including pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants, and dietary contaminants such as aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and fumonisin B1 (FB1). Assessing the effect of these xenobiotics in the laboratory requires their dissolution in a solvent vehicle, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). While DMSO is typically used at low…
