Comparative study on the toxic mechanisms of medical nanosilver and silver ions on the antioxidant system of erythrocytes: from the aspects of antioxidant enzyme activities and molecular interaction mechanisms
Abstract Background The wide application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in medicals and daily utensils increases the risk of human exposure. The study on cell and protein changes induced by medical AgNPs (20 nm) and Ag+ gave insights into the toxicity mechanisms of them. Results AgNPs and Ag+ affec...
