Summary
This study assessed oxidative stress responses in the marine isopod Idotea emarginata following dietary exposure to polystyrene microplastics. Microplastic ingestion elevated antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation markers, indicating that particle ingestion triggers oxidative damage even without co-contaminant exposure.
