Toxicological and Biochemical Changes Induced by Sub-Acute Exposure of Biological Organisms to Silver Nanoparticles Using Soft-Landing Ion Mobility Instrument
Description:
In this study, we have developed a novel way of generating and exposing biological organisms (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic) to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and studying the biochemical changes induced by these particles. We analyzed the various organs of Wistar rats for localization and quantification of these particles using mass spectrometric and molecular biological techniques. Highest levels of AgNP was found in the lung tissue in addition to being present in the liver and kidneys. Analy…
