Dietary supplementation with copper nanoparticles influences the markers of oxidative stress and modulates vasodilation of thoracic arteries in young Wistar rats.
We aimed to study the physiological effects of diet supplemented with copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs). During the eight weeks of the experiment, young Wistar rats (at seven weeks of age, n = 9) were supplemented with 6.5 mg of Cu either as NPs or carbonate salt (Cu6.5). A diet that was not supplemen...
