Summary
This index entry is a reference section from a book covering physiological and stress-related topics in animals, including inflammation, hormones, and metabolic processes, without a primary research focus on microplastics. This entry does not contain an original study abstract and represents an index from a veterinary or comparative physiology reference work.

Editorial: Endocrine regulation and physiological adaptation of stress response in aquatic organisms
This editorial introduces a research collection on how aquatic organisms regulate stress responses through hormonal and physiological systems. While not directly about microplastics, stress response disruption in aquatic animals is a key mechanism through which microplastic exposure causes harm.
Impacts of Microplastic Exposure on Animal Physiology and Health: A Global Perspective
This global review synthesized evidence on microplastic health effects across diverse animal species and environments, covering physical damage, inflammatory responses, chemical toxicity, and behavioral changes. The authors emphasized long-term chronic toxicity as a key concern and highlighted microplastics' role as vectors for harmful substances within food chains.
Facing stress and inflammation: From the cell to the planet.
This review examines stress and inflammation as interconnected biological responses at scales from the cell to the whole planet, tracing how environmental stressors including pollution drive inflammatory disease. The paper positions microplastic contamination and other anthropogenic pollutants as systemic stressors that may be contributing to rising rates of chronic inflammatory conditions.
The Toxicological Mechanisms of Microplastics in Aquatic and Mammalian Animals
This review compared the toxicological mechanisms by which microplastics cause harm in aquatic and mammalian animals, covering oxidative stress, inflammation, endocrine disruption, and gut microbiome alteration. The authors identify both shared mechanisms across animal groups and important differences in dose-response relationships.
Microplastic-Induced Cellular Stress: Emerging Mechanisms Linking Environmental Nanoparticles to Human Metabolic Disorders
This book reviewed emerging cellular mechanisms by which microplastics induce stress in human cells, with a focus on how environmental nanoparticles contribute to metabolic disorders. It connected microplastic exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and disruption of cellular homeostasis.
