Description

Polystyrene can form Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs), a hazardous material with potential toxicity. Polystyrene microplastics is harm to zebrafish heart and induces male reproductive toxicity in mice[1][2]. MCE provides Polystyrene products in solution packaging.

In Vitro

Polystyrene can be made into microplastics (PS-MPs). 0.5 μm, 4 μm, and 10 μm-particle-size PS-MPs can enter into three kinds of testicular cells (GC-1 cell line) in vitro. PS-MPs causes a decrease in sperm quality and testosterone levels in mice[2].

In Vivo

Polystyrene (PS-MPs' particle sizes 3-12 µm; p.o.; 21 d) shows adverse effect on zebrafish activity and oxidative stress, metabolic changes and contraction parameters in the heart tissue[1].
Polystyrene (PS-MPs' particle sizes of 4 μm and 10 μm; p.o.; 24 h) resultsPS-MPs accumulated in the testis of mice, and (PS-MPs, particle sizes of 4 μm and 10 μm; p.o.; 28 d) induces spermatogenic cells abscissed and arranged disorderly, and multinucleated gonocytes occurred in the seminiferous tubule[2].
Polystyrene (PS-MPs' particle sizes of 0.5 μm, 4 μm and 10 μm; p.o.; 28 d) induces testicular inflammation and the disruption of blood-testis barrier in mice[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
