Abstract:The expanded uses of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have grown rapidly in the field of nanotechnology. Thus, the increased production of nanoparticles (NPs) increases the potential risks to the environment and occupationally exposed humans. Hence, safety toxicity assessment including genotoxicity of these NPs is indispensable. In the present study, we have evaluated the genotoxic effect of ZnO-NPs on 5th larval instar of Bombyx mori after feeding on mulberry leaves treated with ZnO-NPs at concentrations 50… Show more
“…[14][15][16] For example, hemolymph cell loaded with nZnO (50 μg ml −1 ) showed increased antioxidant activity by boosting the enzymes SOD and CAT production compared to Zn alone. 17 However, the impacts of nZnO on the antioxidant system of fish and its physiological response at the molecular level are unknown.…”
Marine hydrosphere is in grave danger if extreme weather conditions such as high temperatures and heat waves become the norm. Nano Zn oxides (nZnO) functional characteristics might provide a "booster...

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.
