title: Concentration dependent toxicity of approximately 20 nm anatase titanium dioxide nanoparticles--an in vivo study on Wistar rats.
abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most widely used nanoparticles. Synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles (approximately 20 nm) at a concentration of 42 mg/kg bw induced biochemical perturbations in Wistar rats. TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited hepatic and renal toxicity in Wistar rats.
