Toxicity and behavioral response of zebrafish exposed to combined microplastic and bisphenol analogues
AI summary Read the abstract
Co-exposure of zebrafish larvae to polystyrene microplastics combined with bisphenol A or F increased larval lethality by 7–51% compared to either pollutant alone, while also causing stronger behavioral effects including reduced movement and activity. This synergistic toxicity — not seen in embryos — highlights the danger of treating microplastics and chemical contaminants as independent hazards, since real-world exposures are always mixed.
Recent advances of microplastics toxicity and fate on zebrafish-a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics cause developmental, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and oxidative stress toxicity in zebrafish, positioning the species as a valuable vertebrate model for understanding plastic pollutant effects across trophic levels. Zebrafish research is accelerating mechanistic understanding of how microplastics harm vertebrate biology, providing insights relevant to assessing risks for fish-eating wildlife and humans.
Bioaccumulation and Toxic Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Zebrafish: A Critical Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers comprehensively reviewed micro- and nanoplastic bioaccumulation and toxicity in zebrafish, finding that these particles accumulate in digestive organs, gills, liver, and brain, inducing oxidative stress, developmental delays, neurotoxicity, and transgenerational reproductive impairments that highlight broad ecological risks.
Multi-omic Approach on the Ecotoxicological Assessment of Microplastics, Antibiotics and Their Co-exposure to Zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
This PhD thesis investigated co-exposure effects of microplastics and antibiotics on zebrafish using multi-omic approaches, examining transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic responses. Combined exposure produced more complex molecular disruption than either stressor alone, with interactions affecting gut microbiome composition and host metabolic phenotype.
Simulated Environmental Nanoplastics Induce Zebrafish Developmental Toxicity and Stress Response
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists exposed zebrafish embryos to nanoplastics that were specially broken down to mimic how plastic actually degrades in oceans and rivers, and found they caused more harm than the lab-made plastic beads typically used in research, stunting growth, slowing hatching, and triggering stress hormone spikes even at very low doses. Because these effects showed up at concentrations similar to what's found in real water sources, the findings suggest current safety testing may be underestimating the risks nanoplastics pose to both aquatic life and, potentially, to people who drink that water or eat seafood from it.
