Effect of uncoated and coated SiNP on viability of HepG2 cells after 24 or 48 h exposure to 50, 100, 200 and 500 µg/mL of SiNP (A), SiNP-CH (B) and SiNP-CH (C) Cell viability is expressed as % of control (n = 8) and data are presented as means ± SD. Statistical difference between control group and formulations is reported as * p ˂ 0.05.
