Sunscreening Agents. titanium dioxide. Zinc Oxide. Photoprotection has become integral in the prevention of keratinocyte cancer and photoaging. Organic ultraviolet (UV) filters such as oxybenzone and octinoxate have become controversial due to their potential impact on the environmental and their potential human health risks.
Introduction Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used in a wide range of industrial and personal care products; 1–3 the unique antibacterial and anticancer properties of ZnO NPs have expanded their applications into the biomedical field. 4,5 Accordingly, concerns have been raised over the increasing production and subsequent release of ZnO NPs into aquatic environments, which poses a
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of nanoparticle-sized zinc oxide or zinc chelated with glycine on the growth performance, faecal scores, nutrient digestibility, zinc utilisation, blood profiles, and faecal Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus concentrations in weaned piglets and determine whether zinc could be used as an
Because of the small particle size of nano-ZnO, the human body can easily absorb zinc. Since ZnO NPs are relatively affordable and less toxic than other metal oxide NPs, they offer a wide range of other medicinal uses, including antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and also in wound healing and bio-imaging [ 44 , 45 , 46
Among engineered nano-materials, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are a commonly used metal oxide nano particles. It was reported that with increasing applied Zn in saline and non-saline
