Comprehensive Assessment of Microplastic Toxicity in a Diabetic Model with Emphasis on Neurological Consequences
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assess microplastic neurotoxicity in a diabetic animal model, finding that even at ambient environmental concentrations, both acute and chronic microplastic exposure impairs neurological functions including memory, behavior, and cognitive processes, with diabetic physiology potentially amplifying these adverse effects on the nervous system.
Microplastics and nanoplastics in human health: a comprehensive review of exposure pathways, cellular mechanisms, and toxicological implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed human exposure pathways to microplastics and nanoplastics through seafood, salt, drinking water, inhalation, and skin contact, examining how these particles cross biological barriers to reach organs and trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption with poorly understood long-term consequences.
Disruption of lipid metabolism under plastic siege: Unraveling the toxic mechanisms of microplastics and nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics and nanoplastics disrupt lipid metabolism across multiple animal species, finding they inhibit digestive enzymes, alter gut microbiota, dysregulate fat storage and breakdown, and activate inflammatory signaling pathways — causing both acute and chronic metabolic damage.
Micro and Nanoplastics: Impact on Cellular Health and Neuro-Function
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics ubiquitous in air, water, and soil can enter cells and disrupt neurological function, with evidence linking MNP exposure to oxidative stress, cellular damage, and impairment of neural signaling pathways.
The effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on cardiovascular disease: mechanisms and perspectives
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes current evidence on how microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) may contribute to cardiovascular disease, examining their presence in blood, atherosclerotic plaques, thrombi, and heart tissue. Experimental studies point to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrotic remodeling as plausible mechanisms linking MNP exposure to heart disease, though causal relationships in humans remain unproven and standardized detection methods are still lacking.
