Note: results are the error; %, percent of change from the control value; FOD: fig with olive oil and date-palm fruit extracts; SiO₂NPs: silicon oxide nanoparticles; Al₂O₃NPs: aluminum oxide nanoparticles; ZnONPs: zinc oxide nanoparticles; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; GSH: reduced glutathione; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SOD: superoxide dismutase; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. For each parameter: ^a versus the control group; ^b versus SiO₂NPs; ^c versus Al₂O₃NPs; ^d versus ZnONPs. N.B: the antioxidants (FOD) were used for 2 weeks before and during the administration of the nanoparticles (75 days).
