The constant evolution and applications of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) make living organisms more susceptible to being exposed them. Among the most used are zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs). Therefore, understanding molecular effects ZnO-NPs in biological systems is extremely important. This review compiles main mechanisms that induce cell toxicity by exposure reported vitro research models, with special attention mitochondrial damage. Scientific evidence indicates have a cytotoxic effect depends on...

Abstract Introduction Leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) participate in the immunological response during infection. LEP serum levels rise sepsis. In patients with peritonitis, an insufficient elevation is associated increased risk of death. As gene variants LEPR have been diverse pathologic conditions, we explored association genetic polymorphisms or death secondary peritonitis. Methods A case control study was undertaken. Gene -2548G > 223A G polymorphism were determined 74 patients....
