Figure 5 Mechanism of the damage from microplastics to pancreatic cells. Microplastics induce oxidative stress causing oxidative damage; adsorb di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and act synergistically with it to promote oxidative stress in pancreatic intracellular endoplasmic reticulum and induce apoptosis in pancreatic cells; di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate damage pancreatic β-cells’ DNA and reduce insulin secretion. MPs: Microplastics; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; DEHP: Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.
