OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe application of metallic nanoparticles poses risks to human and animal health. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are the most commonly synthesized metallic oxides in the world. Exposure to TiO2NPs can cause toxicity in the target organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of green and chemical TiO2NPs on maternal and embryo-fetal livers. Green TiO2NPs using garlic extract (GTiO2NPs) and chemical TiO2NPs (CHTiO2NPs) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The biosynthesis of TiO2NPs using garlic extract had a minimal effect on the normal architecture of the liver. It could be concluded that the bioactivity of TiO2NPs can be modified by green synthesis using garlic extract. Compared to the CHTiO2NPs, exposure to GTiO2NPs showed reduced liver damage in maternal and embryo-fetal rats.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe study\'s outcomes have significant socio-economic relevance, particularly in raising awareness of implementing nanotechnologies to benefit human and animal health. The study provides clear evidence that the \"green synthesis\" of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using garlic extract significantly reduces their toxicity. This is fundamental for developing safer, more environmentally friendly nanoapplications in medicine, pharmacy, the food industry, and cosmetics.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe study\'s outcomes provide an excellent multidisciplinary educational resource for students in the fields of veterinary medicine and natural substances (e.g., the use of plant extracts as eco-friendly alternatives in nanotechnology), toxicology and pharmacology (comparison of the effects of different forms of nanoparticles on the organism), as well as nanochemistry and technology, for a deeper understanding. Moreover, students can gain practical knowledge in experimental design, data processing, and understanding the biological implications of chemical and green nanotechnology on the health of both animals and humans.
