Dad’s Microplastic Exposure May Prime Daughters For Insulin Resistance
Fathers exposed to microplastics before conception may be setting their daughters up for metabolic problems later in life. The post Dad’s Microplastic Exposure May Prime Daughters For Insulin Resistance appeared first on Study Finds.
Fathers’ microplastic exposure tied to their children’s metabolic problems
A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s exposure to microplastics (MPs) can trigger metabolic dysfunctions in his offspring. The research, conducted using mouse models, highlights a previously unknown pathway through which environmental pollutants impact the health of future generations.
