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.
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.
The Role of Humic Acids on the Effects of Nanoplastics in Fish
AI summary Read the abstract
Humic acids — naturally occurring organic compounds in freshwater — alter the surface properties of nanoplastics and modulate their toxicity to fish, in some cases reducing harm and in others increasing it. This finding shows that environmental context matters when assessing nanoplastic risk, as water chemistry can substantially shift biological outcomes.
Muti-Biomarker Approach and IBR Index to Evaluate the Oxidative Stress of Nanoplastic on the Clams, Meretrix meretrix and Sinonovacula constricta
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed two clam species to polystyrene nanoplastics and measured antioxidant enzyme responses across multiple tissues, finding that oxidative stress patterns varied by species, organ, dose, and time, with gills showing the highest sensitivity and damage levels returning to baseline after a recovery period.
Routes of human exposure to Micro- and Nanoplastics through the food chain: what do literature reviews say?
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted an umbrella review of 59 published reviews on microplastics in food chains and found that plastic particles contaminate marine, freshwater, and terrestrial food sources across a vast size range (0.02–16,400 µm), noting that the number of reviews now exceeds primary studies, signaling a need for more standardized research.
