Subchronic Oral Exposure to Polystyrene Microplastics Affects Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, Inflammation, and Oxidative Balance in Gilthead Seabream (Sparus Aurata)

Polyethylene Microplastics Induce Concentration- and Time-Dependent Hematophysiological Impairment and Oxidative Stress Following Tissue Accumulation in Rock Bream (Oplegnathus Fasciatus)

Gauging the effects of a chronic exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics in the liver and intestine of Carassius auratus

Physiological Alterations and Immune Modulation in Fish Exposed to Microplastics

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the physiological and immunological effects of microplastic exposure in fish, finding that these particles smaller than 5 mm induce a range of biological disruptions including immune modulation, oxidative stress, and systemic health impacts with broader implications for aquatic ecosystem integrity.

Oxidative damage and intestinal microbial imbalance induced by polystyrene microplastics and cadmium in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

New Insights into the Effects of Polystyrene Microplastics on Freshwater Fish, Labeo rohita: Assessment on Histopathology, Mineral Composition, Bioaccumulation and Antioxidant Activity

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers fed Labeo rohita fish diets containing up to 2.5% polystyrene microplastics over 90 days and found dose-dependent intestinal damage, reduced antioxidant enzyme activity, altered mineral composition in muscle tissue, and bioaccumulation of particles, suggesting risks to farmed fish health and potentially to people who consume them.
