Figure 6From: Effects of copper nanoparticle exposure on host defense in a murine pulmonary infection model Cu retained in the lung tissues and BAL fluids in inhalation- and instillation-exposed mice. Total amounts of Cu in the lung tissues (upper) and BAL fluids (lower) from mice immediately after sub-acute inhalation (A) and instillation (B) of Cu nanoparticles (NPs). The lung burdens of Cu NP in Cu-exposed mice were adjusted for the level of Cu in sham-exposed mice.Back to article page
