Protective role of kelulut honey against toxicity effects of polystyrene microplastics on morphology, hormones, and sex steroid receptor expression in the uterus of rats

Protective role of kelulut honey against toxicity effects of polystyrene microplastics on morphology, hormones, and sex steroid receptor expression in the uterus of rats. Toxics, 11 (4). pp. 1-17. ISSN 2305-6304 (2023)



Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging global pollutant. Previous studies have revealed that chronic exposure to MPs can affect animal and human reproductive health, particularly by impairing the reproductive system’s normal functions, which may increase the risk of infertility in both males and females. Kelulut honey (KH), an excellent source of antioxidants, has been used to counteract the disruptive effects of Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) in the rat uterus.
