Evaluation of the Potential Neurotoxicity of Gold Nanoparticles in the Different Rat Brain Regions

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the potential adverse effects of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, midbrain, cerebellum and medulla of adult male Wistar rat through the estimation of some oxidative stress parameters and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Rats were divided into two main experimental groups. Animals of the 1st and 2nd groups were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose (100
