Abstract excerpt
The present work aimed to elucidate whether the toxic effects of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were associated with oxidative stress (OS) and what mechanisms may have contributed to this OS. Cells exposed to NiO NPs accumulated superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide, which were intracellularly generated. Yeast cells coexposed to NiO NPs and antioxidants (l-ascorbic...
