No prominent toxicity of polyethylene microplastics observed in neonatal mice following intratracheal instillation to dams during gestational and neonatal period

Researchers administered polyethylene microplastics to pregnant mice via intratracheal instillation during gestation and found no prominent systemic toxicity in neonates at postnatal day 7, though the study used a limited dose range and timeframe.

Evaluation of Liver Toxicity of Neonates Following Intragastric Administration or Intratracheal Instillation of Polyethylene Microplatics to Pregnant Mice

Researchers found that pregnant mice exposed to polyethylene microplastics via oral ingestion or inhalation passed particles to offspring, causing oxidative stress and inflammation in neonatal livers, with inhalation exposure producing more severe effects than oral exposure.

Correction: Jia et al. Exposure to Polypropylene Microplastics via Oral Ingestion Induces Colonic Apoptosis and Intestinal Barrier Damage through Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Mice. Toxics 2023, 11, 127

This is a published correction to an earlier study on exposure to polypropylene microplastics via oral ingestion in mice, which found that polypropylene induced colonic apoptosis and intestinal barrier damage through oxidative stress and inflammation. The correction addresses specific errors in the original publication without changing the main findings.

Toxicities Demonstrated in Dams and Neonates following Intragastric Intubation of Polyethylene Microplastics to Pregnant Mice

Researchers found that intragastric administration of polyethylene microplastics to pregnant mice caused oxidative stress, inflammation, and reproductive toxicity in dams, with evidence of transplacental transfer producing developmental abnormalities in neonates.

Correction for Ma et al., Selective activation of the M 1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor achieved by allosteric potentiation

The abstract for this entry describes growing concerns about micro- and nanoplastics in the environment, noting that nanoplastics are considered potentially more toxic than larger microplastics due to their smaller size. The title is a correction notice for an unrelated pharmacology paper, suggesting a database mismatch.

Correction: Effects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)

This is a published correction to a previous study that examined how microplastic exposure affects the body condition and behavior of a planktivorous reef fish species. The correction addresses errors in the original article's data or methodology. The original research investigated whether ingesting microplastics changes how reef fish feed, grow, and behave in their natural environment.
