BACKGROUND Zinc is an essential trace element which is involved in controlling oxidative stress, growth and immune system by regulating inflammatory cytokines. Gouty arthritis is the inflammation of joints and tissues caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals. OBJECTIVE This study involved the oral administration of zinc oxide nanoparticles at a various concentration (5 ppm, 10 ppm, and 20 ppm) and study their antioxidant and anti-gout effects on Balb/C mice. Various parameters such as ROS, superoxide, peroxide, catalase, TBARS, RFTs, LFTs, lipid profile and blood count were studied. RESULTS ZnO nanoparticles at the concentrations of 10 and 20 ppm were significant (P < 0.001) in reducing serum uric acid concentration thus treating gouty arthritis. Reactive oxygen species and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were significantly increased in comparison to zinc oxide nanoparticles treated groups. Furthermore, blood count and LFTs also showed the effectiveness of zinc oxide in the reduction of hyperuricemia. Histopathological analysis showed no apparent changes in liver, kidney and muscles tissues. CONCLUSIONS Zinc oxide nanoparticles can be effective in reducing oxidative stress and the treatment of gouty arthritis.
