Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in cancer treatment, but their potential neurotoxicity has not been studied. Swiss Albino mice were exposed to two sizes of AgNPs and treated with extracts from leaves, fruits, and seeds. Oxidative stress occurred after AgNP exposure, but treatment with the extracts modulated biomarkers related to apoptosis and neurotoxicity. The study suggests that AgNPs can induce neurotoxicity and genetic changes, but the extracts show promise in mitigating these effects.
