Online published on 17 July, 2019. Abstract Zinc is a one, of important, trace, element for all organisms: humans, animals, plants, and microbes, and in recent decades, it has, been extensively studied for, determine its biochemical and physiological functions. The study, used 20, adult male rats that distributed to four groups (each group consist 5 rats); control group, that received normal saline, rats group that exposure to X ray for two weeks, rat group that, exposure to X ray, and received, 50mg/kg of green zinc oxide nanoparticles for two weeks, rats group that exposure to X ray and received 100mg/kg of green zinc oxide nanoparticles for two weeks. The results show significant increased (P < 0.05) in levels of creatinine, urea and uric acid compared with the control group. Also, The results show high significant increased (P < 0.05) in levels malonedialdehyied, (MDA) and significant decreased (P < 0.05) in levels glutathione (GSH), catalase and total antioxidant capacity compared with control group. The results showed non-significant changes (P < 0.05) in all parameters compared with the control group when using green zinc oxide nanoparticles.
