cell, which causes the cell to burst. The amazing thing about this drug is that since it only impacts cells with a cell wall, more specifically a cell wall with a thick layer of peptidoglycan, human cells are not affected. This illustrates selective toxicity, while penicillin is extremely toxic to bacteria cells, it is not at all toxic to human cells. The benefit of this is penicillin can be administered in extremely high doses for serious infections, but not put the patient at risk. Penicillin…

percentage of accumulation in liver of aged mice after 14 day exposure. The AAS data was further supported by TEM images where ZnO NPs were observed in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes of aged mice. The deposited ZnO NPs are responsible for its induced toxicity in aged mice. The ultrastructural changes in the cells from the organs of ZnO NPs treated aged mice show the deleterious effects of NPs. Similar age dependent ZnO NP-induced neurotoxicity were obtained by Tian et al.…
