Summary

This review summarized research on the reproductive toxicity of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in males, finding that MNPs accumulate in reproductive organs and cause toxicity through oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, and DNA damage, with implications for both animal and human reproductive health.

微纳米塑料是一种新型的环境污染物,不仅造成环境污染,对动物和人类健康也造成极大威胁。研究发现微纳米塑料在人和动物的生殖系统中积累,并产生毒性作用。本文主要介绍了微纳米塑料对雄性生殖毒性及其潜在的作用机制,为防控微纳米塑料引起的雄性生殖毒性提供理论基础,维护生殖健康。Micro- and Nanoplastics are a new type of environmental pollutant that not only cause environmental pollution, but also pose a great threat to animal and human health. Research has found that micro- and nanoplastics accumulate in the reproductive system of human and animals, and exhibit reproductive toxicity. This article mainly introduces the reproductive toxicity of micro- and nanoplastics on males and their potential mechanisms, providing a theoretical basis for preventing and controlling the reproductive toxicity caused by micro- and nanoplastics in males and maintaining reproductive health.
