An experimental model of contact dermatitis: Evaluation of the oxidative profile of Wistar rats treated with free and nanoencapsulated clobetasol

Abstract

Our results suggest that both NiSO(4) sensitization and NP administration induced oxidation of cellular lipids and activated the antioxidant enzyme catalase to protect from this damage. These results also indicated that daily treatment with the free and nanoencapsulated clobetasol, as well as treatment with the nanoencapsulated clobetasol every other day, were able to prevent these redox alterations and protect against histological damage.
