Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) restored endogenous antioxidants after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in vivo. Panel a shows that CeONP administration significantly increased catalase activity, restoring normal levels at higher doses (p < 0.01). In panel b, similar improvement in function is noted for superoxide dismutase (SOD), with chronic high doses being equivalent to shams. In panel c, we observe that CeONP improves glutathione (GSH)/ GSH disulfide (GSSG) ratios, retuning them to near normal levels with the chronic high dose paradigm. *Significant from sham, p < 0.01; #Significant from injury, p < 0.01.
