Figure 7From: Cytotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by different metallic nanoparticles on human kidney cells ROS production after NPS exposure. Effects of TiO2, ZnO and CdS NPs on ROS generation by IP15 (a) and HK-2 (b) cells. Cells were exposed in RPMI medium with different concentrations of NPs for 4 h, TBHP at a concentration of 50 μM were applied as positive control. The data are presented as the mean ± SE of at least three independent experiments. Data were expressed as the percentage of the ROS level in control group. Significance indicated by: *p < 0.05 versus control cells.Back to article page
