Abstract

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of microplastics on female reproductive health by analyzing experimental studies.

Method: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify experimental studies published between 2021 and 2023. Studies investigating the effects of microplastics on reproductive organs, hormone levels, fertility rates, and offspring development in female subjects were included. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.

Results: A total of 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that exposure to microplastics significantly affects ovarian function, decreases fertility rates, and disrupts hormone levels in female subjects. Several studies also reported negative effects on embryo development and offsprings health. The quality of the studies varied, with some showing a high risk of bias.

Conclusion: The evidence from experimental studies suggests that microplastics have a detrimental effect on female reproductive health. However, the variation in study quality highlights the need for more rigorous research to confirm these results and better understand the underlying mechanisms.

微塑料对女性生殖健康的影响:来自动物和人类实验研究的见解:系统综述。
目的:通过对实验研究的分析,评价微塑料对女性生殖健康的影响。方法:综合检索PubMed、Web of Science和Scopus数据库,确定2021 - 2023年间发表的实验研究。这些研究调查了微塑料对女性生殖器官、激素水平、生育率和后代发育的影响。使用Cochrane偏倚风险工具评估研究的质量。结果:共有15项研究符合纳入标准。结果表明,接触微塑料会显著影响女性受试者的卵巢功能,降低生育率,并扰乱激素水平。一些研究还报告了对胚胎发育和后代健康的负面影响。这些研究的质量参差不齐,其中一些显示出较高的偏倚风险。结论:实验研究的证据表明,微塑料对女性生殖健康有不利影响。然而,研究质量的差异表明需要更严格的研究来证实这些结果,并更好地了解潜在的机制。
