Figure 1. Fe2O3@DMSA NPs protected coronary artery ligature (CAL) induced injury in rats.

Figure 1

(a) TEM image of Fe2O3@DMSA NPs of 9.8 nm. (b) Representative images for heart sections (stained with triphenyltetrazolium chloride solution) derived from the sham-operated control (Sham), normal saline-treated (CAL) and Fe2O3@DMSA NPs-treated (CAL + Fe2O3@DMSA NPs) rats at 0.25 mg kg−1. (c) Quantification of the size of heart infarcts of sham-operated control, normal saline- and Fe2O3@DMSA NPs-treated rats. (d) Quantification of several serum index (SOD, MDA, LDH, CK, and CK-MB) of sham-operated control, normal saline- and Fe2O3@DMSA NPs-treated rats. * p < 0.05 vs the CAL group; ** p < 0.01 vs the CAL group; n = 8.
