Introduction. Since the beginning of the XXI century, silver nanoparticles have been widely used in various industries, medicine and pharmaceuticals due to their pronounced antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal properties. In connection with such a high demand for the use of silver nanoparticles, it is very important to understand the associated potential risks from their use. Materials and methods. In the course of the work, there has been a study of the effects of the long-term oral administration of a commercially produced dietary supplement based on silver nanoparticles with a size of 34 nm and stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone in an amount of 50 μg/day/animal on the cognitive functions of C57Bl/6 mice, as well as their accumulation in the brain by the method of instrumental neutron activation analysis. The dietary supplement used is recommended for people as a treatment for gastrointestinal infections. Results. It was found that after 180 days of administration, silver nanoparticles impair long-term contextual memory, and over time, the content of silver in the brain increases. Conclusion. Presumably impaired cognitive function with accumulation of silver in the brains of mice. This poses the risk of prolonged oral use of the silver nanoparticles.

The silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are applied broadly in medical applications due to their antimicrobial property. However, the toxicity (uptake, translocation, and accumulation) of these AgNPs nanomaterial has not been much explored. Also, cyclodextrin has been used for different pharmaceutical applications due to its various potential properties. Therefore, the toxicity of these AgNPs and cyclodextrin in the model organism such as Danio rerio could be crucial for future nano-drug studies. The main aim of the present research work is to synthesize, characterize biopolymeric silver nanoparticles, and perform histopathological studies of synthesized silver nanoparticles on Danio rerio. The silver nanoparticles of 130nm size have been synthesized successfully using β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) at room temperature. The various analytical applied to characterized the β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) reduced silver nanoparticles (β-CD)-SNPs. A histopathological study has been conducted to evaluate the toxicity effect of the synthesized (β-CD)-SNP on the animal model Danio rerio. The (β-CD)-SNPs conc. 30µl/l is affecting and damaged gills and kidney the Danio rerio organs (gills, kidney) exposed after 10 days, yet the liver was found to be healthy. In conclusion, the Danio rerio gills, kidneys, and liver are sensitive to the 130nm-sized (β-CD)-SNPs. The nanoparticles' toxicity depends on concentration; less concentration (30µl/l) accumulates and is absorbed efficiently than the higher concentration (300µl/l). However, no morphological changes were observed on Danio rerio.

The study aims to investigate the effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the seminiferous tubules in Albino rats. Several in vitro studies have been performed in different cell models, using various nanoparticles. Pure and spherical AgNPs with an average size of 30 nm, was injected into two groups of male albino rats (6 rats for each group) in different doses. Histopathological changes in testis tissues were showed a harmful effect of the silver nanoparticles, manifested by reducing the number of spermatogenic cells, and a decrease in the number of leyidg´s cells (group 1), and hypotrophy in seminiferous and enlargement in interstitial spaces in group 2.
