Effects of nano-TiO2 on MMP in primary cultured LCs.

Notes: (A) Flow-cytometry images of mitochondrial injury in LCs treated with different nano-TiO2 concentrations. (B) MMP levels calculated as JC-1 polymer vs JC-1 monomer in LCs treated with different nano-TiO2 concentrations (***P<0.001). MMP reduction in LCs was observed in the presence of nano-TiO2. Values represent means ± SD (n=5).
