Oral administration of 100 mg/kg of SiO2 NPs (nanoparticles) increased plasma ROS levels starting at week eight, and inhibition of ER stress prevented increased ROS generation. a RT-qPCR results for ROS-related genes. b Levels of T-SOD in sera and livers. c Levels of GSH in sera and livers. d Levels of MDA in sera and livers. * P < 0.05 vs. the control group. Results are the mean ± SE (n = 10)
