Abstract

This study investigated the effects of nanoplastics (NPs) of varying particle sizes (75, 500, and 1000 nm) and concentrations (2.5 and 10 mg/L) on the gut health of Chiromantes dehaani. The experimental groups included a control (Cg0), and varying combinations of particle size and concentration. Our results showed that 75 nm NPs were more likely to enhance pathogenic bacterial growth than other sized NPs. Compared with CK, Low NPs concentrations (2.5 mg/L) raised total cholesterol (T-CHO) levels in the gut, while high concentrations significantly decreased both triglyceride (TG) and T-CHO levels (p
