DESCRIPTION
In an article recently published in the journal Life Sciences, researchers investigated the effect of nanosilver (Ag), noise, and nano-Ag plus noise treatments on rat’s cochlea. The research outcomes confirmed that these treatments induced oxidative stress in rats and changed the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and NADPH oxidase 3 (NOX3).
