Global research trends and mechanistic pathways linking micro- and nano plastics exposure to metabolic health: a bibliometric and evidence-mapping analysis (2013–2025) (opens in new tab)

BackgroundThe widespread presence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the food chain has raised concerns regarding their potential contribution to metabolic diseases.ObjectiveHowever, a comprehensive synthesis of the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and biomarker evidence linking dietary MNP exposure to metabolic health outcomes remains limited.MethodsThis study conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) between 201...
