The mechanism of vascular injury caused by polystyrene microplastics: Involving ferroptosis and metabolomics
Summary Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are environmental pollutants linked to cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated PS-MP-induced vascular toxicity mechanisms in mice. Mice were divided into saline control, low/medium/high PS-MP exposure (0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg/d), and PS-MPs plus ferroptosis inhibitor Fer...
