In vivo Antioxidant Potential of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from Psidium guajava L.

), Abstract
Excessive utilization of nanoparticles renders it necessary to produce safer and more secure nanoparticles while preserving their efficacy. In this study, Psidium guajava L. pulp extract-mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized, characterized, and further evaluated regarding their antioxidant potential. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles (G-AgNPs) showed a higher level of radical scavenging activity (RSA) (25.85%), hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity (34.34%), and ferric reducing power (0.28). The comparison of the control group (G1) with the various treatment groups (G2–G6) revealed that the levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were significantly different (P < 0.05). The levels of blood urea, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGTP), serum creatinine, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and serum electrolytes were also evaluated. The results of clinical biochemistry also strengthened our hypothesis that G-AgNPs are less toxic than C-AgNPs. Finally, the histopathology of liver, kidney, and intestinal tissues indicated that green-synthesized AgNPs are relatively safer.
