Acute Effects of Size Dependent Low-Density Polyethylene Microplastics on Zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
Zebrafish embryos exposed to low-density polyethylene microplastics for 48 hours accumulated particles in their gut, experienced reduced hatching rates, increased heart rates, and significant tissue damage, with smaller particles causing the most harm. These acute effects in a widely used model organism suggest that even brief early-life exposure to plastic particles can disrupt normal development.
The damaging effects of polyethylene microplastics exposure on juvenile carp and the ameliorative role of Opuntia Milpa alta extract
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed juvenile carp to polyethylene microplastics for 45 days, documenting liver damage, inflammation, and gut microbiota disruption, then found that Opuntia cactus extract significantly reduced liver enzyme markers and restored microbial diversity, suggesting natural plant extracts may help counteract microplastic toxicity.
Impact of Microplastics on Reproductive and Physiological Aspects of Aquatic Inhabitants
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastic exposure affects reproduction and physiology in freshwater aquatic organisms, finding that plastic particles disrupt hormonal signaling, reduce fertility, and impair development across a range of sensitive freshwater species.
Ecotoxicological Consequences of Microplastics in Aquatic Life
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics — tiny plastic particles under 5mm — harm aquatic ecosystems, documenting that fish, invertebrates, and other marine life can ingest them, leading to physical damage, toxic chemical exposure, and disruptions to feeding and reproduction.
Polystyrene microplastics affect the early life stages of large yellow croaker Pseudosciaena crocea
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed early life stages of large yellow croaker fish to polystyrene microplastics and found that 1-micrometer particles increased larval mortality and decreased body length at high concentrations, while 5-micrometer particles disrupted phospholipid metabolism in cell membranes, indicating developmental risks to commercially important fish species.
