During this week’s episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Bikman discusses the impact of microplastics on metabolic health, focusing on their effects on fat cells, insulin resistance, and blood vessel health.
Microplastics—tiny plastic particles under five millimeters—are now ubiquitous in our environment, entering the body through food, water, air, and skin products. Their pervasiveness poses serious concerns due to their accumulation in human tissues and the release of harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt normal hormone functions and lead to various health issues.
Ben details how microplastics affect fat cell biology, particularly through BPA and phthalates, which mimic hormones like estrogen and testosterone, causing increased fat storage and even promoting fat cell growth and multiplication (hyperplasia and hypertrophy). This hormone disruption and fat cell expansion result in greater fat storage and elevated inflammation, contributing to insulin resistance, obesity, and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Professor Bikman also explores how microplastics affect vascular health, citing studies that show microplastic particles in atherosclerotic plaques. These particles attract macrophages that attempt to remove the microplastics but instead form “foam cells,” which contribute to plaque formation and heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Ben concludes with recommendations to limit microplastic exposure, such as avoiding plastic containers for long-term water storage and choosing BPA-free, phthalate-free products, especially for food and beverages.
