Absolute amount (μg)a | Concentration in PBS (mg/mL)b | Concentration in the chamber (mg/mL)c | Dose (mg/kg)d | Therapeutic NO amount (μg/kg)e |
---|---|---|---|---|
30 | 1 | 0.3 | 1.5 | 47 |
150 | 5 | 1.5 | 7.5 | 234 |
750 | 25 | 7.5 | 37.5 | 1170 |
The absolute mass of the polymers injected into the chambers;
The concentration of polymers in the delivery vehicle (i.e., 30 μL of PBS);
The estimated concentration of polymers in the chamber (i.e., 100 μL) after injection;
The amount of polymers injected into the chambers normalized to the mass of the mice (20 g);
The amount of NO delivered into the chambers, which was estimated by multiplying the NO totals of HP-PO/NO polymers measured in the broth (Table 1) with the tested doses.
