Induction of ROS and MDA along with reduction of TAC by AgNPs and F co-exposure in CRL-2014 cells. (A) CRL-2014 cells exposed simultaneously to both AgNPs and F produced significantly higher levels of ROS compared to control cells and AgNPs- and F-treated cells, respectively; (B) CRL-2014 cells exposed simultaneously to both AgNPs and F produced significantly higher levels of MDA compared to control cells and AgNPs- and F-treated cells, respectively; (C) CRL-2014 cells exposed simultaneously to both AgNPs and F produced significantly lower levels of MDA compared to control cells and AgNPs- and F-treated cells, respectively.

Notes: *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.

Abbreviations: AgNPs, silver nanoparticles; F, fluoride; MDA, malondialdehyde; ROS, reactive oxygen species; TAC, total antioxidant capacity.
