Figure 3. ROS generation and ROS-induced ferryl-Hb formation in I-ARCs.

Figure 3

(a) Evaluation of ROS yield. The FL signal of I-ARCs is 9.5 times stronger than that of INPs. (b) Quantification of ferryl-Hb in INPs and I-ARCs. In I-ARCs, 63.8% ferrous-Hb (FeII) was converted into ferryl-Hb (FeIV), which is 10.7 times higher than that of deoxygenated I-ARCs. (c) Comparison of autoreduction time of ROS and ferryl-Hb produced in I-ARCs after NIR laser irradiation. The half-autoreduction time of Ferryl-Hb is 35-fold longer than that of ROS.
