Use of gold nanoclusters in ameliorating oxidate stress and/or aging

摘要

Disclosed herein is the novel use of a gold nanocluser for ameliorating oxidative stress and/or aging of a cultured cell or a subject having an oxidative stress and/or aging condition mediated by a vascular factor. The gold nanocluster has a particle size ranging from about 0.1 to 20 nm, and preferably is dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) coated gold nanocluster.
