Summary

This study examined the effects of micro- and nanoplastics on inflammatory and antioxidant gene expression in gastrointestinal tissues. The results indicate that plastic particles trigger upregulation of inflammatory markers and oxidative stress pathways in gut cells, contributing to understanding of how dietary microplastic exposure may contribute to gastrointestinal disease.
