NPs or bio inorganic nanoparticles, Ayurvedic medicinal preparations, are prepared using herbs and minerals following long iterative procedures. Jasad NPs are prepared by basic solution conditions. Methods: The ZnO NPs and its in-process intermediate are characterized for their physicochemical properties using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and CHNS(O) analysis. The bioaccumulation of zinc, effect on liver antioxidant status, liver and kidney function (by conventional tests as well as SPECT: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography), effect on blood cells and effect on immune system are studied in mice model, Swiss albino. Since NPs is given with an accompaniment (anupan), all the bioactivity studies were carried out by administering the preparation with and without Amala powder (Phyllanthus emblica L., fruit, dry powder) as anupan.
MEENA et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
