In vivo localization of ES NPs and Azo-pu ES NPs in healthy and inflamed colons.

Notes: (A) Confocal images of C-6-loaded Azo-pu ES NPs in healthy control and inflamed control group colon cross sections prepared 24 hours after oral NP administration; (B) quantitative determination of C-6 in healthy and inflamed colon tissue 24 hours after oral administration of ES NPs and Azo-pu ES NPs. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation (n=3 animals/group, **P<0.01). Healthy colon, colon section from healthy rats; inflamed colon, colon section from 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced colitis rats.

Abbreviations: NPs, nanoparticles; ES, Eudragit S100; Azo-pu, azo-polyurethane; C-6, coumarin 6.
