Evolution of body weight of immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice during and after treatment.

Notes: Weight of mice was measured every 3 d. During and after treatment, treatment with blank NPs did not induce significant weight losses compared with the controls. In contrast, treatment with free DOX and DOX-loaded PBCA NPs always induced a significant mouse body weight loss with respect to the controls (P<0.001). However, the loss induced by treatment with DOX-loaded PBCA NPs was significantly lower (*P<0.001) than the loss caused by free DOX. Data represented as the mean value ± SD (n=10).

Abbreviations: DOX, doxorubicin; PBCA NPs, poly(butylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles; d, days; SD, standard deviation; DOX-NPs, DOX-loaded PBCA NPs.
