Deciphering the particle specific effects on metabolism in rat liver and plasma from ZnO nanoparticles versus ionic Zn exposure

Toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are often related to the release of Zn2+ ions due to their dissolution. Studies also suggest that the toxicity of ZnO NPs cannot be solely explained by the release of Zn2+ ions; however, there is a lack of direct evidence of ZnO particulate effects. This study com...
