It is out that the plastic particles can penetrate the bone tissue and influence its health.
The plastic waste, which year -olds make up more than 400 million tons, has long been polluted by oceans, rivers and shores, and now scientists are increasingly finding them in the human body. If the previous microplastics were fixed to the blood, brain, placenta, breast milk, now in the first instance its existence has been proven to bones, Science Daily reports.
The study, in which the 62 scientist works are considered: microplastics can damage bone tissue, in particular, violates the function of bone marrow cells and contributes to the development of osteoclasts -cells that destroy the bone through the resorption process.
“In experiments in cells, it has been shown that microplastics reduces their flexibility, accelerates aging, changes in contrast and stimulates inflammatory processes,” Rodrigo Bueno De Oliveira, the leader of the mineral laboratory and bone research in the nefrology of the medical department of the university of Campinas (Brazil) Minerals (Brazil).
Experts in animals also confirmed the ability of accelerated accumulation of osteoclasts that violate the microstructure of the bones, leading to their weakening, deformation and even pathological fractures. In some cases, a plot stop stopped.
Scientists emphasize that the impact of microplasty on bone mechanics is not yet fully studied, but data indicates that particles can penetrate deep into the bone marrow and change its metabolism. The Oliveire team is now launching the project to study how microplastics exactly affect bone strength using animal models.
According to the international osteoporosis fund, the number of fractures associated with osteoporosis will increase by 32% of the 2050 in the world. Researchers suggest that microplastics can be an additional risk factor that should be considered in the treatment and prevention of arthritis.
We remind you, it has also been reported that the microplastics of food are harmful to the liver and disturbing metabolism.
Hot drinks became the main source of microplasty – research
