Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the systemic oral toxicity of 20 nm positively charged zinc oxide nanoparticles in rats over a 90-day period to identify the no-observed-adverse-effect level.
- The research involved different dosage levels (500, 250, and 125 mg/kg), with a 14-day recovery period to observe any long-term effects.
- Key findings included increased red blood cell count and decreased protein levels in higher dosages, with notable health impacts such as pancreatic cell apoptosis and stomach inflammation, suggesting a lowest-observed-adverse-effect level of 125 mg/kg for these nanoparticles.
