DNA microarray results from worms exposed to bare Au NPs. (a) Examples of genes upregulated 3–6-fold. (b) Examples of genes downregulated 6–13-fold. DNA microarray results from worms exposed to MUA-Au NPs with MUA/Au NPs = 0.5. (c) Examples of genes upregulated 6-16-fold. (d) Examples of genes downregulated 8-27-fold. DNA microarray results from worms exposed to MUA-Au NPs with MUA/Au NPs = 3. (e) Examples of genes upregulated 3-5-fold. (f) Examples of genes downregulated 6-14-fold. For details on the cellular functions of these genes, refer to Tables 2–4.
