Biotransformation of Food-Grade and Nanometric TiO<sub>2</sub> in the Oral–Gastro–Intestinal Tract: Driving Forces and Effect on the Toxicity toward Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Biotransformation of Food-Grade and Nanometric TiO<sub>2</sub> in the Oral–Gastro–Intestinal Tract: Driving Forces and Effect on the Toxicity toward Intestinal Epithelial Cells

<i>Background:</i> Oral exposure to titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) is common since it is widely used in food and pharmaceutical products. Concern on the safety of this substance has been recently raised, due to the presence of an ultrafine fraction in food-grade TiO<su...
