Inertness of diamond - truth or false

Abstract

Presents experiments from which the authors conclude: Diamond powder has antioxidant properties in blood plasma, prooxidant properties in the chain reactions with linolenic acid. Diamond powder does not stimulate catalase activity. Diamond powder increases the activity of lipoxygenase in presence hydrogen peroxide. In vivo diamond powder doesn't cause toxic responses in the human body, damage of tissue structure and proliferation of connective tissue. NCD as a powder has a very high biocompatibility. NCD coating consists of NCD powder particles. NCD coating is an ideal biomaterial for medical implants because its biological, chemical and physical properties are the best among all biomaterials.
