Effects of washout of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) (176 μg/ml) at 1, 3, and 7 hours after NPs instillation by replacing apical fluid with fresh minimal defined serum-free medium (MDSF) (A) or MDSF supplemented with 10% newborn bovine serum (MDS) (B). RT of MDSF- and MDS-grown rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers (RAECMs) before ZnO NP exposure was 2.12 (±0.21) kΩcm2 (n = 9) and 2.46 (±0.71) kΩcm2 (n = 18), respectively. Arrow indicates the time when apical fluid was replaced with fresh culture medium. *Significantly different (P < 0.05) from control (RAECMs not exposed to ZnO NPs).
