Polystyrene nanoplastics cause reproductive toxicity in zebrafish: PPAR mediated lipid metabolism disorder

AI summary · Read the abstract

Zebrafish exposed to polystyrene nanoplastics at environmentally realistic levels experienced delayed sperm development, abnormal egg growth, and impaired reproduction, with larger 500-nanometer particles causing the worst effects. The reproductive damage was linked to disrupted fat metabolism in the ovaries through a specific signaling pathway, and the effects resembled polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) -- raising concerns about potential impacts on human fertility.

Nanoplastic contamination: Impact on zebrafish liver metabolism and implications for aquatic environmental health

AI summary · Read the abstract

Zebrafish exposed to polystyrene nanoparticles for 28 days showed significant disruptions in liver metabolism, including altered fat processing, signs of inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. Notably, at lower doses the liver's detox enzymes appeared to break down the nanoplastics themselves, while higher doses overwhelmed these defenses and caused more severe injury.
