Fig. 6From: Multiparametric analysis of anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of gold nanoprisms on mouse and human primary and transformed cells, biodistribution and toxicity in vivoAnalysis of (a and c) the weight gain of mice treated with nanoparticles and (b and d) the relative weight of the organs after treatment. Data of (a and b) 3 days and (c and d) 4 months after treatment. Mice were injected (i.v) with 6 μg/g NPR-PTG (green) or the same volume of PBS in the group control (black). The mice weight was measured (a) before and after 3 days of the treatment and (c) weekly during the following 4 months. (b) and (d) the mice were sacrificed and the weight of the different organs were measured after treatment and referred to the mice weight. Data represent mean values ± SD from 5 mice. *p < 0.05Back to article page
