Background Gold nanoparticles are widely used in consumer products, including cosmetics,
food packaging, beverages, toothpaste, automobiles, and lubricants. With this increase in …

Gold nanoparticles are known to be distributed to many tissues following their oral,
inhalation, or intravenous exposure. Information on the biodistribution and clearance of gold …

This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that nanogold particles can accumulate in
the olfactory bulb, and translocate from the lung to other organs after inhalation exposure …

Background Inhalative nanocarriers for local or systemic therapy are promising. Gold
nanoparticles (AuNP) have been widely considered as candidate material. Knowledge …

The role of alveolar macrophages in the fate of ultrafine particles in the lung was
investigated. Male Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed to ultrafine gold particles, generated by a …

The subchronic inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was studied in Sprague-Dawley
rats. Eight-week-old rats, weighing approximately 253.2 g (males) and 162.6 g (females) …

Background The fate of gold nanoparticles, 2, 40 and 100 nm, administered intratracheally
to adult female mice was examined. The nanoparticles were traced by autometallography …

The acute inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats.
Seven-week-old rats, weighing approximately 218 g (males) and 153 g (females), were …

Nanomaterials are already used today and offer even greater use and benefits in the future.
The progress of nanotechnology must be accompanied by investigations of their potential …

Background Nanoparticle (NP) toxicity testing comes with many challenges.
Characterization of the test substance is of crucial importance and in the case of NPs …
