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.
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.
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.
