Alterations in the Haemotological and Biochemical Responses of Exposed to Allium sativum Extract Against Cadmium Oxide in Male Swiss Albino Mice
Summary
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it investigates whether garlic extract (Allium sativum) can protect against cadmium oxide toxicity in mice, measuring hematological and biochemical markers of organ damage.
Abstract In this study following exposures of 1.5 mg/kg/day Cadmium oxide (CdO) and 1.5 mg/kg/day CdO + 300 mg/kg Allium sativum extract (mixture) were individually administered to mature in Male Swiss Albino Mice via oral gavage for 96 hours and then haemotological and biochemical responses were investigated. Hematological indices (hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), platelets (PLT); serum metabolites (total cholesterol, cortisol, triglyceride, glucose, total protein, bilirubin), ions (Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca and fosfat), and enzymes; (alanine transaminase (ALT); aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, (ALP) and laktat dehidrogenaz (LDH), lipase (LP)) levels were measured. CdO and mixture decreased hematological indices (except PLT); ALP and ChE, serum metabolits (except glucose and bilirubin); ions (except K, Na) while increased PLT, ALT, AST, LDH, LP, glucose, bilirubin and K ion. These increases/decreases in all hematological and biochemical parameters were generally higher in mice treated with the exposed CdO compared to the mixture of CdO and Allium sativum extract group. The study demonstrated that ameliorative effect of Allium sativum extract on metal toxicity evaluating enzyme systems, ion regulation, hematological values and metabolism as lipid, protein, and energy.

This paper is not about microplastics; it investigates how the plant compound Astragaloside IV protects kidney cells from cadmium-induced damage, examining mitochondrial and autophagy pathways.
Mechanisms of Gills Response to Cadmium Exposure in Greenfin Horse-Faced Filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis): Oxidative Stress, Immune Response, and Energy Metabolism
This study examined how cadmium, a toxic heavy metal from industrial pollution, damages the gills of a marine fish species by triggering oxidative stress, immune responses, and energy imbalances. While not directly about microplastics, the findings are relevant because microplastics can absorb and transport heavy metals like cadmium into aquatic food chains. Understanding how fish respond to cadmium exposure helps assess the combined risks when heavy metals hitchhike on microplastic particles.
Impacts of Microplastics, Cadmium, and Their Mixtures on Biochemical Biomarkers in the Freshwater Bivalve Corbicula fluminea (Bivalvia, Corbiculidea)
This study evaluated the combined impacts of microplastics and cadmium on biochemical biomarkers in a freshwater organism, finding that co-exposure caused greater oxidative stress and cellular damage than either contaminant alone. Microplastics appear to enhance cadmium bioavailability and toxicity.
Distinct adverse outcomes and lipid profiles of erythrocytes upon single and combined exposure to cadmium and microplastics
Researchers found that polystyrene microplastics and cadmium caused distinct types of anemia in mice when administered alone, with cadmium inducing microcytic hypochromic anemia while MPs caused polycythemia (overproduction of red blood cells). Combined exposure produced different erythrocyte lipid profiles than either contaminant alone, showing that MPs alter cadmium toxicity to red blood cells.
