摘要

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are extensively incorporated in numerous industrial products. Adult male Albino rats received oral TiO2 NPs at a dose of 150 mg/kg body weight for 14 days exhibited both hepatic and renal toxicities manifested by disruption in serum hepatic and renal biomarkers, imbalance in oxidative-antioxidant system, up-regulation of mRNA expression of genes encode inflammation (IL-1β, TNF-α) and apoptosis (Caspase-3, BAX) with down-regulation of PCNA immune-staining density and histological modifications in hepatic and renal architecture. Carboxymethyl chitosan (5 mg/kg BW) significantly improved the harmful effects of nano-titanium particles highlighting its relevance in reducing TiO2 NPs – induced hepatic and renal dysfunction.
