Large-scale plastic pollution occurs in terrestrial and marine environments degrades into microparticles (MP) nanoparticles (NP) of plastic. Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are found throughout the environment different kinds organisms can enter human body through inhalation or ingestion, particularly food chain. MPs/NPs organisms, affect systems, including reproductive, digestive, nervous systems via induction stresses such as oxidative stress endoplasmic reticulum stress. This paper summarizes effects sizes on reproduction invertebrates vertebrates, amplification toxic between them chain, serious threat to biodiversity, and, more importantly, imminent challenge reproductive health. There is a need strengthen international communication cooperation remediation protection biodiversity build sustainable association humans other organisms.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), emerging as pervasive environmental pollutants, present multifaceted threats to diverse ecosystems. This review critically examines the ability of MNPs traverse biological barriers in fish, leading their accumulation gonadal tissues subsequent reproductive toxicity. A focal concern is potential transgenerational harm, where offspring not directly exposed exhibit toxic effects. Characterized by extensive specific surface areas marked hydrophobicity, readily adsorb concentrate other contaminants, potentially intensifying comprehensive analysis aims provide profound insights into repercussions on fish health progeny, highlighting intricate interplay between pollutants. We delve mechanisms MNPs-induced toxicity, including histopathologic alterations, oxidative stress, disruptions hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The also underscores urgency for future research explore size-specific dynamics long-term implications chronic exposure. Understanding these aspects crucial assessing ecological risks posed formulating strategies safeguard aquatic life.

Precocious puberty (PP) is a common pediatric endocrine disorder that affects children's growth and sexual development. Environmental pollutants, especially microplastics (MPs), may be an important triggering factors in PP. MPs were widely found living environment, while the impact of on pubertal development remains unknown. In this study, 14 serum samples collected from central precocious (CPP) girls healthy controls. The concentration total CPP (68.19 ± 26.49 mg/kg) showed significant increase than controls (36.94 13.22 mg/kg). 5 11 types detected, among which PE (CPP, 28.22 %; Control, 31.62 %) PVC 62.67 58.14 being dominant ones. Correlation analysis between sex hormone revealed negatively correlated with progesterone positively dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS). order to investigate toxic effects onset, young female mice at 21 days orally administered various concentrations for two weeks. Female exposed (PE, 3 mg/day; PVC, 6 mg/day) had advanced vaginal opening, none changes body weight. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated exposure during could activate microglia, astrocytes promote GnRH expression hypothalamus, leading earlier onset. These data suggested can absorbed accumulated brain gonad after gavage, accelerate initiation. This study provided valuable evidence threatened normal progression

A considerable quantity of microplastic debris exists in the environment and toxicity these materials has a notable impact on aquatic ecosystems. In this paper, 50–500 µm polystyrene microplastics (exposure concentrations were 200 µg/L, 800 3200 µg/L concentrations) selected to study effects (PS-MPs) cell morphology, detoxification enzyme activity, mRNA expression liver tissues crucian carp juveniles. The results demonstrated that: (1) Different PS-MPs cause varying degrees pathological oxidative damage tissue cells carp. higher concentration microplastics, lower antioxidant (CAT, GST, SOD) activity greater damage. These demonstrate typical dose–effect relationship. (2) Principal component analysis Spearman’s correlation that four components, namely glutathione S-transferase (GST) its related genes (GSTpi, GSTα), along with catalase (CAT), contributed most observed outcome. components relatively high level responsiveness PS-MP exposure can be employed as ecotoxicological indicators microplastics.
