Implication of nano and microplastics in reproduction: understanding oocyte vulnerability
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined how nano- and microplastics (NMPs) compromise oocyte quality and female reproductive function, finding that NMPs trigger oxidative stress, disrupt meiotic spindle assembly, impair mitochondrial function, and cause DNA damage in eggs. The findings identified the oocyte as particularly vulnerable to NMP exposure, with implications for fertility and reproductive health.
Microplastics in ovarian function and ozone-based mitigation strategies: Emerging evidence and translational implications
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesized emerging evidence that microplastics accumulate in human follicular fluid, oocytes, placenta, and semen, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and meiotic disruption in reproductive cells, and discussed ozone-based strategies as potential mitigation approaches.
Molecular and cellular effects of nano- and microplastics on oysters: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the ecotoxicological effects of nano- and microplastics on oysters, finding that while high concentrations cause measurable physiological and cellular harm, there is a critical lack of studies at environmentally realistic exposure levels needed to accurately predict ecological consequences.
Exposição De Microplásticos E Nanoplásticos Ao Tecido Ovariano: Uma Revisão Integrativa
AI summary Read the abstract
This integrative review examines the impact of micro- and nanoplastics on female ovarian tissue, synthesizing animal model studies showing damage to follicular structures, increased oxidative stress, and disrupted reproductive hormone signaling.
Impact and mechanisms of microplastics and nanoplastics on the reproductive system
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed evidence that microplastics and nanoplastics disrupt both male and female reproductive systems across multiple species, causing oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, reduced sperm quality, impaired ovarian function, and potentially transgenerational reproductive damage — with human data still limited but concerns growing.
