Heat shock and titanium dioxide nanoparticles decrease superoxide dismutase and glutathione enzymes activities in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The exposure of living organisms to metals can generate reactive oxygen species and failure in their antioxidant defences, triggering oxidative stress and oxidative damage. Despite the intensive use of engineered nanoparticles in numerous consumer and industrial products, data on their potential haz...
