Histological and immunohistochemical studies on the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the cerebellum of newborn and adult rats and the possible protective role of EDTA
Abstract:Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are involved in different applications such as nutrition, while, it causes damage to different organs of the body including the brain. This study aimed to compare between the effect of ZnO NPs on newborn and adult rats´ cerebellum and to evaluate the protective role of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) against ZnO NPs toxicity. Thirty-two newborn (NBM)and thirty-two adult male (ADM) Sprague Dawley rats are used. Four groups (n = 8) of each are divided as following; Gp1: … Show more
