Table 6.

Total iron concentrations in the liver and spleen (wet tissue).

Group n Liver; µg Fe/mg wet
tissue (± SD)
Spleen; µg Fe/mg wet
tissue (± SD)
S0 3 0.6 (0.6) 0.7 (0.1)
SH 4 0.6 (0.6) 0.9 (0.2)
LL 3 6.8 (0.4) 3.37 (1.8)
LH 3 5.3 (2.3) 7.2 (7.7)
H0 3 16.3 (11.8) 9.1 (7.8)
HL 4 20.8 (13.3) 10.9 (7.7)
HH 3 18.9 (26.4) 46.3 (79.0)

Iron concentrations were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The first letter of each group designation indicates the dose of nanoparticles injected: saline (S), low-dose (L) or high-dose (H) superparamagnetic iron oxide. The second letter of each group designation indicates the field strength for alternating magnetic field exposure: zero (0), low (L) or high (H) field.

SD: Standard deviation.
