Abstract
Magnetic resonance was used to investigate the kinetic disposition of magnetite nanoparticles (9.4 nm core diameter) from the blood circulation after intravenous injection of magnetite-based dextran-coated magnetic fluid in female Swiss mice. In the first 60 min the time-decay of the nanoparticle concentration in the blood circulation follows the one-exponential (one-compartment) model with a half-life of (6.9 +/- 0.7) min. The X-band spectra show a broad single line at g approximately 2, typical of nanomagnetic particles suspended in a nonmagnetic matrix. The resonance field shifts toward higher values as the particle concentration reduces, following two distinct regimes. At the higher concentration regime (above 10(14) cm(-3)) the particle-particle interaction responds for the nonlinear behavior, while at the lower concentration regime (below 10(14) cm(-3)) the particle-particle interaction is ruled out and the system recovers the linearity due to the demagnetizing field effect alone.
