Normalized organ weights of liver, spleen, and kidney for mice exposed to (a) AuNPs (b) AgNPs (c) SiO2 NPs. As mice were still growing during the course of the dosing regimen, organ weights are normalized to final body weight (g organ/g final body weight). Error bars are standard deviation (d) Representative images of the liver and spleen after 8 weeks of dosing of either D5W (left) or AuNPs (right). AuNP treated tissues were dark and discolored throughout (e) Representative image of SiO2 NP treated animal exhibiting barbering. Arrows point out barbered areas
