The adverse side effects of prenatal and postnatal rats' exposure to silver nanoparticles Induced toxicity.

Background: Silver nanotechnology is widely applied in industry and medicine, with an increased likelihood of environmental and food contamination.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the adverse effects of orally administering silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to pregnant or lactating female rats on adults and the development of their offspring.

Methods: Forty female albino rats were used to assess the immediate impacts of AgNPs in two separate experiments.
