根据一项新的研究,小鼠的父体微塑料接触增加了女性后代的糖尿病风险。 Paternal microplastic exposure in mice increases diabetes risk in female offspring, per a new study.

《内分泌学会杂志》的一项新研究发现,接触微塑料的雄性小鼠导致女性后代更容易出现类似糖尿病的症状,包括高血糖和与糖尿病相关的肝脏变化,即使是在同一饮食中也是如此。 A new study in the Journal of the Endocrine Society finds that male mice exposed to microplastics produced female offspring more prone to diabetes-like symptoms, including high blood sugar and liver changes linked to diabetes, even on the same diet. 男性后代的脂肪重量减少,但没有糖尿病迹象。 Male offspring showed reduced fat mass but no diabetes signs. 这项研究由UC Riverside的 Changcheng Zhou牵头,是第一个将父亲的微塑料暴露与后代的长期代谢风险联系起来的研究,表明环境毒素可能会留下影响后代的生物印记。 The study, led by UC Riverside’s Changcheng Zhou, is the first to link paternal microplastic exposure to long-term metabolic risks in offspring, suggesting environmental toxins may leave biological imprints affecting future generations.
