The Effect of Ferric Oxide Nanoparticles on Peroxidase and Catalase Enzyme Activity in Healthy Human Serum

Abstract

In this work, ferric oxide nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel method from oleic acid .the size of nanoparticles was studied by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The effect of ferric oxide nanoparticles on catalase and peroxidase enzyme activity in healthy human serum was studied. The results showed that ferric nanoparticles acted as competitive inhibitor with peroxidase and un competitive inhibitor with catalase enzyme.
