Toxicity of nano zinc oxide to mitochondria

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are increasingly applied in a diverse array of industrial and commercial products. Therefore, it is urgently required to characterize their toxic behavior. ZnO NPs have been reported to induce toxic effects at the levels of the individual organism, tissue, cell and DNA. However, little is known about the potential impacts of ZnO NPs at a subcellular level. In the present work, we investigated the toxicity of...
