Environmental Microplastics, Mitochondrial Health and Human Diseases
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how environmental microplastics disrupt mitochondrial function, linking plastic particle exposure to oxidative stress, impaired energy metabolism, and inflammatory pathways that may contribute to a range of human diseases.
Plastics are synthesized from organic polymers. The convenience of plastic generation and their multi-utility properties has resulted into plastics becoming an ubiquitous part of lives of both animals and humans. Plastics have long half-lives that depend on the...
