x1 | x1/2 | x1/4 | |
Liposomes w/ nanoparticles | 17.3 ± 0.0 | 34.2 ± 0.1 | 64.1 ± 0.1 |
Liposomes w/o nanoparticles | 2161.7 ± 154.6 | 2207.3 ± 107.9 | 2955.0 ± 7.1 |
a) The dilutions (v/v) of the liposomal preparations correspond to the original liposomal suspension (5.26 mM PtdCho, x1), 50% (x1/2) or 25% (x1/4). In the liposomal preparations containing Nanotex these dilutions correspond to iron concentrations of 0.5 mg Fe/mL, 0.25 mg Fe/mL and 0.125 mg Fe/mL.
b) T1 values were determined at 1.5 Tesla (22 °C, Bruker Minispec, Rheinstetten, DE) using the inversion recovery sequence.
