Fig 1. Plot showing results from ex vivo biodistribution of saline solutions containing ⁵²Mn administered via intravenous injection or inhalation.

The timepoints shown represent the time after administration of the dose. Results for the p-values from Student’s t-test with Welch’s correction at 1 d p.i. only: *: p<5%; **: p<0.1%; ***: p<0.01%; -: p≥5%. Sample sizes for each timepoint were n = 4 mice for injection and n = 3 for inhalation. Uncertainties: one absolute standard deviation in units of %ID/g. Error bars were only drawn in the positive direction for visual clarity. The plotted data is presented in numerical form in Table 1.
