Summary

High concentrations of polystyrene nanoplastics inhibited serum hormone levels, glucose metabolism enzyme activity, and related gene expression in Pacific white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The study found nanoplastic exposure negatively affects glucose metabolites by inhibiting the pentose phosphate pathway, disrupting energy metabolism in an economically important aquaculture species.

High concentration of nanoplastics inhibited serum hormone levels, glucose metabolism related enzyme activity and gene expression. Nanoplastic exposure may have a negative effect on glucose metabolites via inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway.
