Dietary Nano-ZnO Is Absorbed via Endocytosis and ZIP Pathways, Upregulates Lipogenesis, and Induces Lipotoxicity in the Intestine of Yellow Catfish
Nano-sized zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) affects lipid deposition, but its absorption patterns and mechanisms affecting lipid metabolism are still unclear. This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular mechanism of nano-ZnO absorption and its effects on lipid metabolism in the intestinal tissues of...
