Early exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles caused a decrease in the cytoplasmic catalase activity, inducing lipid peroxidation in the Saccharomyces cerevisae.
The massive production of nanomaterials has created new pollutants whose interaction with living organisms is unclear. Recent studies have revealed that these materials generate reactive oxygen species, causing cell damage, when antioxidant systems fail, fact which justifies its inclusion in toxicol...
