Abstrakt: Each year millions of tons of fish bones and shellfish are caught, which is a serious environmental problem. Although these wastes contain valuable minerals, their use is not widespread. The main objective of the present research is to study the use of the extracted nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) that is prepared from such natural resources for in vivo study in rats. In vivo tests and biochemical studies were conducted to observe the changes found in blood. Biological studies indicate that the degradation products of the biogenic nano-HA scaffolds do not cause liver disorder, kidney failure, carcinogenic effect, oxidative effects, or liberation of oxygen radicals that could destroy tissue. Neither any inflammatory effect was found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
