Purpose: The ability of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of different sizes to influence copper metabolism in mice is assessed. Materials and Methods: AgNPs with diameters of 10, 20, and 75 nm were fabricated through a chemical reduction of silver nitrate and characterized by UV/Vis spectrometry, transmission and scanning electronic microscopy, and laser diffractometry. To test their bioactivity, Escherichia coli cells, cultured A549 cells, and C57Bl/6 mice were used...
