Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder widespread in developing and well-developed countries. It is the sixth leading cause of death in upper middle-income countries in 2015. Many of the synthetic medicine such as sulfonylureas,... more
The aim of this study was comparing the toxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) versus zinc ions (Zn2+) at a high non-lethal (500µg/L) and a low environmental relevant (0.05µg/L) concentrations on gills of rainbow trout... more
Increasing production and utilization of silver nanoparticles can lead to their release into aquatic ecosystems and tend to toxic effects on aquatics. It is not yet clearly specified whether observed toxic effect following exposure of... more
The objective of the present study was to know the effect of Silver nanoparticle on antioxidant enzymatic activities in selected tissues of the Zebrafish, Danio rerio. For the chronic toxicity study adult fish, Danio rerio were divided in... more
This study was conducted to measure the bioconcentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in artemia brine shrimp (Artemia salina) and its transfer to zebrafish (Danio rerio), in order to: (1) determine the uptake of AgNPs by artemia from... more
This study aims to evaluate the potential toxic effects of ZnO nanoparticles on Artemia franciscana nauplii. The ZnO NPs suspension was characterized by TEM, EDS and DLS techniques. Acute toxicity was investigated by exposure of nauplii... more
