Comparison of the mechanism of toxicity of zinc oxide and cerium oxide nanoparticles based on dissolution and oxidative stress properties.
Tian Xia,Michael Kovochich,Monty Liong,Lutz Mädler,Lutz Mädler,Benjamin Gilbert,Haibin Shi,Joanne I. Yeh,Jeffrey I. Zink,Andre E. Nel +9 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that metal oxide nanoparticles induce a range of biological responses that vary from cytotoxic to cytoprotective and can only be properly understood by using a tiered test strategy such as that developed for oxidative stress and adapted to study other aspects of nanoparticle toxicity.

Natasha M. Franklin,Nicola J. Rogers,Simon C. Apte,Graeme E. Batley,Gerald E. Gadd,Philip S. Casey +5 more
TL;DR: Care needs to be taken in toxicity testing in ascribing toxicity to nanoparticles per se when the effects may be related, at least in part, to simple solubility, as this study has shown.

Zinc, Insulin and Diabetes
TL;DR: There appears to be a complex interrelationship between Zn and both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and the role of Zn in the clinical management of diabetes, its complications, or in its prevention is, at best, unclear.
