Spatially resolved lipid disruption induced in Daphnia magna by environmentally relevant exposure to obesogens tributyltin and pyriproxyfen.

Environmental pollutants, particularly endocrine disruptors, are known to significantly dysregulate lipid homeostasis, causing severe health issues. However, their obesogenic effects on invertebrate species, such as the planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna, remain poorly understood. Previous research suggested that compounds such as organotin tributyltin and the insecticide pyriproxyfen promote lipid accumulation, particularly triacylglycerol species.

Mass spectrometry imaging enables detection of MPs and their effects in Daphnia magna following acute exposure.

Microplastics (MPs) are continuously found in soil and water environments. Within aquatic ecosystems, filter-feeding organisms are unable to discriminate MPs from food particles while fish may intentionally ingest MPs by mistaking them for prey. In both cases, MPs can accumulate in tissues with subsequent implications for human and environmental health.

Facilitating microplastic ingestion in aquatic models: A verified protocol for daphnia magna as a trojan horse vector.

Microplastic pollution poses a significant environmental threat due to its persistence, widespread distribution, and inherent toxic potential. Despite the increasing number of publications in this field, a standardized protocol for the laboratory intake of microplastics by has yet to be established. In this study, we introduce a verified protocol designed to facilitate the ingestion of microplastic particles (MPs) by , ranging in size from 5-55 µm.

Lipidomic analysis of single and combined effects of polyethylene microplastics and polychlorinated biphenyls on human hepatoma cells.

Microplastics are an emerging environmental issue as a result of their ubiquity, persistence, and intrinsic toxic potential. In addition, their ability to sorb and transport a wide variety of environmental pollutants (i.e.

Interaction of Environmental Pollutants with Microplastics: A Critical Review of Sorption Factors, Bioaccumulation and Ecotoxicological Effects.

Microplastics have become one of the leading environmental threats due to their persistence, ubiquity and intrinsic toxic potential. The potential harm that microplastics impose on ecosystems varies from direct effects (i.e.
