Selective toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles toward Gram-positive bacteria and cancer cells by apoptosis through lipid peroxidation.
Mariappan Premanathan,Krishnamoorthy Karthikeyan,Krishnamoorthy Karthikeyan,Kadarkaraithangam Jeyasubramanian,Govindasamy Manivannan +4 more
TL;DR: The toxicity of zinc oxide to bacteria was related to the generation of reactive oxygen species and to the induction of apoptosis, and these effects were differentially greater in human myeloblastic leukemia cells (HL60) than normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

The response of fish to immunostimulant diets
TL;DR: This review focuses upon the last 15 years of studies addressing the assessment of: (1) plant, herb and algae extracts; and (2) PAMPs, upon non-specific immune parameters of activation and immunostimulant diet efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Naturally derived anti-HIV agents.
TL;DR: In the review anti‐HIV agents have been classified according to their chemical classes rather than their target in the HIV replicative cycle, which is the most frequently encountered approach.
