Multi-omics analysis reveals polyethylene microplastics-induced gill damage, metabolic disruption and immune dysregulation in Lateolabrax maculatus
AI summary
Researchers exposed spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) to dietary polyethylene microplastics and found that even moderate concentrations caused gill tissue damage, oxidative stress, and immune dysregulation by disrupting energy metabolism and NF-κB inflammatory pathways, with most effects showing partial recovery after a 14-day depuration period.
Multi-omic Approach on the Ecotoxicological Assessment of Microplastics, Antibiotics and Their Co-exposure to Zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
This PhD thesis investigated co-exposure effects of microplastics and antibiotics on zebrafish using multi-omic approaches, examining transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic responses. Combined exposure produced more complex molecular disruption than either stressor alone, with interactions affecting gut microbiome composition and host metabolic phenotype.
Physiological Alterations and Immune Modulation in Fish Exposed to Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the physiological and immunological effects of microplastic exposure in fish, finding that these particles smaller than 5 mm induce a range of biological disruptions including immune modulation, oxidative stress, and systemic health impacts with broader implications for aquatic ecosystem integrity.
Impact of ingested microplastics on phenotypic traits and biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juvenile
AI summary Read the abstract
Juvenile Nile tilapia exposed to microplastics showed significantly lower survival rates, reduced body weight, smaller eye diameter, elevated superoxide dismutase activity, and reduced catalase activity compared to controls, indicating physiological stress and impaired antioxidant defense. These dose-response effects on a widely farmed species provide direct evidence that microplastic ingestion compromises fish growth and survival, with implications for aquaculture productivity and the integrity of fish-based food systems.
Microplastic Contamination in Aquatic Organisms: An Ecotoxicological Perspective
AI summary Read the abstract
"This ecotoxicological review examined how microplastics accumulate in aquatic organisms across multiple trophic levels, documenting impacts on physiology, reproduction, and behavior, as well as the transport of associated chemical contaminants through food webs. Because humans sit at the top of aquatic food chains, the bioaccumulation dynamics described here translate directly into dietary microplastic exposure, making ecotoxicological endpoints in fish and shellfish key indicators of human health risk."
