Pharmacological levels of zinc oxide can promote growth and health of weaning piglets, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine changes in the global hepatic protein expression in response to dietary zinc oxide in weaned piglets. Nine half-sib piglets were allocated to three dietary zinc treatment groups (50, 150, 2500 mg/kg dr...

The journal retracts the article “Utilizing of (Zinc Oxide Nano-Spray) for Disinfection against “SARS-CoV-2” and Testing Its Biological Effectiveness on Some Biochemical Parameters during (COVID-19 Pandemic)—“ZnO Nanoparticles Have Antiviral Activity (SARS-CoV-2)” Coatings 2021, 11, 388” [...]

in order to investigate the effect of application methods of znso4 on qualitative, quantitative and correction of zinc deficiency in grapevine, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 10 treatments and 4 replications. treatments included control, trunk injection three levels 1.5, 3 and 5 g/l, spray in three levels 1.5, 3 and 5 g/l and soil application (soil drench...

Despite its superior characteristics, there is an increased concern about the environmental effects that zinc oxide causes and over the years lower levels of zinc have been tried in order to decrease its impact and to minimise the production costs. Different approaches have been considered for reducing zinc levels. Between all the alternatives proposed, the use of nano–sized ZnO particles with ...

In their systematic review, Caruso et al. identified 14 zinc trials (the above paper). They used the quality scoring approach so that for the identified trials they gave one point for each of 11 quality items if it was satisfied. In two tables and one figure, Caruso et al. described the distribution of quality scores and the individual quality features of the trials. They considered that only s...

Zinc has previously been reported to alleviate salinity stress in plants. In this study, we monitored various biomass and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters to determine the optimum zinc sulfate concentration that can be used as foliar spray to alleviate salinity stress in Glycine soja. The plants subjected to a series of salinity levels (NaCl concentration of 0, 100, 200, and 300 mmol L), app...

In this study, nano-ZnO particles were deposited on mild steel sheets from an acidic zinc bath. These particles were synthesized by using an auto combustion technique. The effect of concentration of nano- ZnO particles on the corrosion behavior of depositions was investigated. The results of salt spray tests and electrochemical measurements showed that corrosion resistance is improved by additi...

the low bioavailability of zinc (zn) is in calcareous and saline soil, therefore the study of chemical forms and bioavailability of zn in these soils is necessary to estimate the potential availability. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and mycorrhizae fungi inoculation on the chemical forms of zn in a calcareous soil at different sal...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by spray pyrolysis method using an aqueous solution of zinc acetate at various concentrations from 5 to 25 wt%. The decomposition of precursor solutions was carried out at 800, 1000 and 1200ºC under different atomizing pressures. The crystal structure and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction ...
