Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are extensively distributed in the environment. However, a comprehensive review in‐depth discussion on effects of MPs NPs to reproductive capacity transgenerational toxicity mammals, especially humans, is lacked. It suggested that microplastics could accumulate mammalian organs exert toxic system for both sexes. For males, damage consists abnormal testicular sperm structure, decreased vitality, endocrine disruption, which were caused by oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis cells, autophagy, cytoskeleton, hypothalamic‐pituitary‐testicular axis. females, includes ovary uterus structure granulosa cell apoptosis, hypothalamic‐pituitary‐ovary axis abnormalities, tissue fibrosis. toxicity, premature mortality existed rodent offspring after maternal exposure microplastics. Among surviving offspring, metabolic disorders, dysfunction, immune, neurodevelopmental, cognitive disorders detected, these events directly correlated with translocation NPs. Studies human‐derived cells or organoids demonstrated studies sexes yet phase exploring suitable experimental models, more detailed research threat human fertility still urgently needed. Further will help assess public health risks.

As biota are increasingly exposed to plastic pollution, there is a need closely examine the sub-lethal 'hidden' impacts of ingestion. This emerging field study has been limited model species in controlled laboratory settings, with little data available for wild, free-living organisms. Highly impacted by ingestion, Flesh-footed Shearwaters (Ardenna carneipes) thus an apt these environmentally relevant manner. A Masson's Trichrome stain was used document any evidence plastic-induced fibrosis, using collagen as marker scar tissue formation proventriculus (stomach) 30 Shearwater fledglings from Lord Howe Island, Australia. Plastic presence highly associated widespread and extensive changes to, even loss of, structure within mucosa submucosa. Additionally, despite naturally occurring indigestible items, such pumice, also being found gastrointestinal tract, this did not cause similar scarring. highlights unique pathological properties plastics raises concerns other Further, extent severity fibrosis documented gives support novel, fibrotic disease, which we define 'Plasticosis,'.

4-tert-butylphenol (4-tBP) is a toxic environmental pollutant with moderate bioaccumulation, persistence, and long-term toxicity. Its toxicity to aquatic organisms has become an issue of concern. However, the molecular mechanism 4-tBP remained unclear. Liver target organ for pollutants. Here, we established 4-tBP-exposed model in vivo primary hepatocyte vitro common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). We found increased hepatic-somatic index (HSI) abnormal serum biochemical indexes (ALT, AST, LDH) after exposure, indicating liver damage. further revealed that damaged structural integrity livers typical features ferroptosis. Based on toxicogenomics analysis, ferroptosis likely be involved 4-tBP-induced Moreover, our experiment provided evidences 4-tBP-exposure led excess oxidative stress, iron overload, decreased MMP, expression ferroptosis-related factors. Interestingly, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1, inhibitor) pretreatment alleviated above changes. In summary, demonstrated triggered hepatocytes via SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis, ATF4/HSPA5/GPX4 axis. For first time, discovered Fer-1 can ameliorate 4-tBP, which needs more investigations. Our results scientific basis fish poisoning.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread environmental pollutant which has serious toxic effects on organisms. One of the crucial trace elements selenium (Se), whose shortage can harm biological tissues and enhance toxicity contaminants, in apoptosis autophagy are core events. An vivo model was established to investigate BPA low-Se chicken pancreatic tissue, identify possible potential molecular mechanism. total 80 1-day-old broiler chickens (Xinghua Chicken Farm, Harbin, China) were stochastically divided into 4 groups (n=20/group): Control group, + group. Pancreatic tissue collected at day 42 detect changes markers.
