Comprehensive Assessment of Microplastic Toxicity in a Diabetic Model with Emphasis on Neurological Consequences

Springer proceedings in earth and environmental sciences 2025
Deepshika Shekhawat, Anju Sharma

Summary

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.

Body Systems

Nervous system is primarily responsible for an organism’s ability to regulate its memory, behaviour and cognitive processes. The neurotoxic consequences of microplastics are a developing concern nowadays. Even at ambient concentrations, both acute and long-term...
