Niedrige Dosen von Nanoplastik über die Nahrung bei Mäusen über einen Zeitraum von 3 Monaten haben nachweislich Auswirkungen auf die Integrität der Darmbarriere, die Zusammensetzung der Mikrobiota und die Leberfunktion, wobei die Auswirkungen durch eine fett- und zuckerreiche Ernährung verstärkt werden

    1. >It was found that exposure to low doses of polystyrene nanoplastics over the 90-day period had strong diet-dependent effects.

      >Gut barrier integrity was altered, an effect that was amplified in mice consuming the Western-style diet. Gut microbiota composition was also altered, an effect that was amplified in mice consuming the standard diet.

      >In the liver, exposure to low doses of nanoplastics disrupted fat metabolism regardless of diet, but glucose intolerance was more pronounced in mice consuming the Western-style diet. This effect was seen even though nanoplastics did not appear to cross the gut barrier. The above changes were associated with greater mass gain in the mice.

      Gastroenterologists are gonna be worth their weight in gold by the time we figure out the impacts of plastic consumption in the body.

      Gut microbiome, barrier, and glucose breakdown in the liver all have huge impacts on the entire body, including the brain. This is not just impacting a few organs. These things are impacting everyone’s quality of life and health

      How did they remove or account for the nano/micro plastics from the standard chow? Wouldn’t that baseline already be an approximation for the amount that we consume?
