Abstract
The unique physical, chemical and magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles (INPs) open up wide prospects for the use of nanomaterials in the diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. Despite the high interest from the scientific community, the mechanism of the effect of INPs on the physiology of living organisms has not been fully investigated. This is due to the fact that the toxicity of nanoparticles depends on many factors, including size, synthesis method and the presence of the shell. The research is aimed to investigate the effect of INPs on the morphological structure of the kidneys, depending on the method of synthesis and the presence of a polysaccharide shell after oral administration. In the study was used ferrihydrite INPs of synthetic and biogenic origin. The experiment was conducted on 3 groups of animals (55 mice): Group 1 – control (15 mice), feed without additives; group 2 (20 mice) – experienced, synthetic INPs were introduced into the feed; Group 3 (20 mice) was an experimental group, encapsulated biogenic INPs were introduced into the feed. The collection of biological kidney material for histological examination was carried out on the 1st day and on the 22nd, 36th day after the introduction of INPs into the feed. Histological examination was performed using a standard technique. Staining of histological sections was carried out with hematoxylin-eosin and Perls. The studied morphometric parameters of the kidney were analyzed using the Morphology 7.0 program. As a result of the study, it was found that repeated administration of INPs of both synthetic and biogenic origin is accompanied by hemodynamic disorders in the studied organ, as well as dystrophic and necrotic changes in the cells of the renal parenchyma, leading to the development of renal failure. The most pronounced reactivity is possessed by INPs obtained by the biogenic method, which is probably due to the presence of a polysaccharide shell and the crystalline structure of the iron compound.
