Popis: Background and Objectives: Nanotechnology is one of the sciences, which despite its wide range of applications has some disadvantages that have challenged its use. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of chronic consumption of silver nanoparticles on thyroid gland and pregnancy in rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 14 pregnant rats were divided into 2 groups of 5 and 9 (control and experimental). The experimental group received nanosilver by gavage at a constant concentration of 16 ppm for 30 days. Then, thyroid hormone levels were determined by ELISA technique, and thyroid gland was examined pathologically. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney Test. The significance level was considered as p
