“…In a recent study by Matos et al (2020), similar findings were reported in zebrafish embryos exposed to ZnS and CdS based quantum dots, where significant upregulation of cat was observed as compared to sod. 66 Other studies have also reported the overexpression of sod and cat in zebrafish embryos in response to NM exposures such as Pd, 67 Ag, 68 TiO 2 (ref. 68 and 69) and SiO 2 .…”
With a growing number of studies now exploring the development of novel Phosphorous (P)-based nanomaterials (NMs) for agriculture, there is an increasing concern that these NMs may enter aquatic environments...
“…The early stage of embryos is the most sensitive stage to external factors such as toxic chemicals and mechanical stress (Anila et al, 2021a). Our results had shown that high doses of Pd NPs interfere with normal hatching rate and survival and cause teratological abnormalities in the zebra sh larvae.…”
New strategies for fast, efficient and environmentally friendly approaches in nanoparticle (NP) synthesis have increased the interest in less toxic green synthesis products. In this study, VA-Pd / AC nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using palladium (Pd), activated carbon (AC) and Viscum album (VA) aqueous extract as stabilizer / reductant. Activated carbon in the synthesis stage was obtained using the Chenopodium album (CA) plant. The structural and morphological properties of VA-Pd / AC NPs were examined using TEM and XRD analyses. Zebrafish embryo and larvae were exposed to the produced VA-Pd / AC NPs at different concentrations (10, 50, 100 and 500 mg/L) for 96 h. Embryos/larvae were examined for survival rate, hatching and malformation during development. Morever, potential neurotoxic effects were assessed histopathologically and immunohistochemically using Caspase 3 and nNOS indicators. Although the hatching rate of VA-Pd / AC NP was 100% at all concentrations, the survival rate decreased in a dose dependent manner. Histopathological analyses revealed that 10 mg/L group looked similar to the control group, whereas necrotic degenerations were observed in the 50, 100 and 500 mg/L groups in a dose- dependent manner. In addition, Caspase 3 and nNOS expressions were evaluated as negative in the control and 10 mg/L groups in immunofluorescence staining. These results provide the evidence that 500 mg/L concentration of green synthesized VA-Pd/AC NPs from Viscum album (VA) and Chenopodium album (CA) plant induces neurotoxic and tetragenonic effect on zebrafish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
