Polystyrene microplastics disrupt adrenal steroid synthesis in male mice via mitochondrial dysfunction by Ying Xiong, Zhe Chen, Hanmin Xiang, Yi Liu, Yanlin Wang

“…In this study, through both in vivo and in vitro models, we found that polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) impaired adrenal steroid synthesis, leading to a reduction in corticosterone levels. In vivo, we further observed that chronic exposure to PS-MPs (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/d for 4 weeks) could induce abnormal mitochondrial morphology and functional disruptions of adrenal glands in male mice, along with an imbalance in cellular oxidative stress, manifested as increased level of reactive oxygen species, diminished antioxidant activity (glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase). …”
