Possible Interaction: Antioxidants and Zinc Oxide

“We found that CNZO (100 mg/kg Zn) could improve the antioxidant capacity and reduce fecal Zn emission.”

“Concomitant real-time data indicated that ZnO NPs significantly increased the expression of steroidogenesis-related genes (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein and cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme) and significantly (p < 0.05) decreased antioxidant enzyme gene (SOD) expression after a 4-h incubation period.”

“In addition, ZnO nanoparticles increased antioxidant enzyme activities and their mRNA expression in the C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells.”

“Also, the combination of Se NPs and ZnO NPs enhanced the antioxidant effect of the films.”

“Further, the metabolite profiling revealed that ZnO NPs significantly augmented the production of silymarin and upregulated the antioxidant system in the callus cultures.”

“Calcium-modulating compounds, antioxidants , and zinc/iron chelators also decreased ZnO NP-induced toxicity.”

“Besides, ZnO NPs increased the levels of AChE and TAP at 1 µg/mL. In conclusion, the results indicate the protective effects of ZnO NPs in the prevention of cytotoxic activity of CP in the lymphocytes.”

“Furthermore, the activities of key antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase were increased by combined treatment of BR and ZnO NPs compared with ZnO NPs only treatment.”

“The developed calli/roots showed 79% DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity at 10 mg/L. The total antioxidant and reducing power potential also significantly affected in presence of ZnO NPs.”
