ROS were detected through the colorimetric assay employing the nitro-blue tetrazolium salt (NBT salt) by reading the absorbance of the reduced blue molecule.
On the other hand, titanium dioxide is a synthetic mineral that is produced through a chemical reaction involving the mineral ilmenite or rutile. It is used in industries such as cosmetics, paint, and sunscreen as a whitening agent and pigment. The manufacturing process of titanium dioxide involves extracting the mineral from ores, purifying it through chemical processes, and then grinding it into a fine powder.
TiO2 absorbs UV light. This property makes it appear bright white under light, unlike other white materials that can look slightly yellow.
For a mini-review published in the journal Particle and Fibre Technology in 2021, scientists wanted to evaluate whether Ti02 particles contributed to the development and/or exacerbation of irritable bowel disease, and whether they altered the four elements of intestinal barrier function: the intestinal microbiota, the immune system, the mucus layer, and the epithelium. The breakdown of these four elements can contribute to autoimmune, neurological, inflammatory, infectious, and metabolic diseases. Following their review, the researchers concluded: “Data indicate that TiO2 is able to alter the four compartments of IBF and to induce a low-grade intestinal inflammation associated or not with pre-neoplastic lesions.”
