Fig. 3. Histopathological assessment of digestive gland (DG) on exposure to different MP morphotypes over time.
A H&E staining of the digestive tubules (DT) of each group. Scale bar: 50 µm. B Percentage of damaged DT in each group. Data are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA with Turkey’s post hoc test was conducted to calculate significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n = 5). C Schematic depicting the damage caused by MP morphotypes on mussel DT.
