Resumo(s)
Introduction: Gold nanoparticles (NPs) are being incorporated
into various consumer products and are very promising
in biomedicine as diagnostic and therapeutic delivery platforms.
However, concerns about their safety, environmental and health
impact have risen, as they might establish harmful interactions
with biological systems. In this context, it is of major importance
to understand the implications of exposure to these NPs on early
life stages of biota, which have been considered, in general, as the
most sensitive to chemical contamination. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the lethal and sublethal effects that gold nanorods (GNRs) may provoke on earlylife stages of the fish species Danio rerio.
