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.
Potential Pathway and Hormonal Disrupting Capacity of Microplastic in a Coastal System
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the trophic pathway of microplastic exposure in Monterey Bay by quantifying particles in seawater, northern anchovies, and common murres, while also measuring the estrogenic activity of plastic-associated chemicals using estrogen-receptor assays. The study aimed to link microplastic quantification with endocrine disruption potential across successive levels of a coastal marine food web.
Molecular Pathways of Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined how microplastics move through marine ecosystems at the molecular level, tracing pathways from ocean water into marine organisms and food webs. Understanding these routes helps scientists predict how plastic pollution accumulates in sea life and potentially reaches humans through seafood.
Impact of Microplastics on the Physiology of Benthos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastic pollution harms bottom-dwelling aquatic organisms, summarizing evidence that benthic species face widespread physiological disruption from microplastic ingestion and accumulation, with broader implications for aquatic biodiversity.
Marine Microplastics: Abundance, Ecotoxic Consequences of Associated Anthropogenic Contaminants and Interactions with Microorganisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the rapid growth of microplastic pollution in the ocean, highlighting how these particles accumulate toxic chemicals and interact with microorganisms in ways that amplify their ecological harm. As plastic production continues to rise, the marine food web faces increasing exposure to contaminated microplastics that can ultimately reach humans through seafood.
