Apoptotic and histopathological defects enhanced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles in male mice after short-term exposure.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) are commercially utilized in diverse fields. Therefore, the current study investigated the apoptotic and histopathological defects that were caused in male mice following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of TiONPs for 28 days.

Use of DNA adduct and histopathological defects as indications for bio-persistence potency of zinc oxide nanoparticles in gastropod, Monacha cartusiana (Mǜller) after short-term exposure.

The cytotoxic effects of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) might be revealed in genomic and histopathological defects. Therefore current study aimed to assess the bio-persistence and adverse effects potency of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in the gastropod, Monacha cartusiana. Gastropods were exposed to 74 μg/mL for 14 d then the DNA adduct and histopathological defect profiles were assessed.
