Hepatic Saa1 mRNA expression levels in mice following intratracheal instillation (I.T.), intravenous injection (I.V.) and oral gavage (P.O.) of 162 μg of TiO2, CeO2 or CB measured 1 day after exposure. Particle exposed groups n = 9, vehicle control n = 9. All values are presented as mean + SD. Asterisks (**) denote P ≤ 0.01 and (***) P ≤ 0.001 of Saa1 mRNA levels in exposed groups versus vehicle control. Hashtag (#) denotes P ≤ 0.05 of Saa1 mRNA level in TiO2 vs CB groups. Crosses (†††) denote P ≤ 0.001 of Saa1 mRNA level in CeO2 vs CB groups. Double cross (‡) denotes P ≤ 0.05 and (‡‡‡) denote P ≤ 0.001 of Saa1 mRNA level in TiO2 vs CeO2 groups
