Impact of Microplastics and Nanomaterials on Fish Health: Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defense Mechanisms

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers review how exposure to microplastics, pesticides, and nanoparticles triggers oxidative stress in fish by generating reactive oxygen species, and examine how fish antioxidant defense mechanisms respond to these combined environmental stressors with implications for seafood safety and aquatic health.

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.

Toxicity Impact of Polyethylene Microplastics on Biochemical Parameters and Oxidative Stress in Benni Fish (Barbus sharpeyi)

AI summary Read the abstract

Benni fish exposed to increasing concentrations of polyethylene microplastics showed significant liver enzyme disruption, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and clear signs of oxidative damage in their cells. These dose-dependent biochemical changes suggest that microplastic exposure causes systemic physiological stress in fish, raising concerns about the health of species humans consume.
