Study of changes in biochemical parameters of rats after acute exposure to gold core-shell hybrid nanostructures and nanomaterials

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are one of nanomaterials
widely used for biomedical purposes. Due to large surface
area and high sorbtion capacity, they can be coated
by various biomolecules to produce gold core-shell hybrid
nanostructures (GHNs). GHNs posess a great potential
as agents for diagnostics, controlled drug delivery, bioimaging,
cancer treatment, photodynamic therapy, etc.
Use in biomedicine arises a problem of GHNs’ toxicity
towards humans. Therefore, studies of biological effects.
