Researchers warn nano-polyphenols may have reversed effects

e used in their nanoparticle form.

The findings showed that when used in bulk form, these polyphenols exhibited their anticipated antioxidant responses, but the nanoform at higher concentrations had the reverse effect and exhibited statistically significant pro-oxidant effects, which can cause increased DNA damage.

Both the compounds in the bulk form produced statistically significant concentration-dependent reductions in DNA damage, revealed the authors. In contrast, when used in the nano-par
