Comparison of copper accumulation and cell viability after application of iron-free CuO-NPs or CuO-Fe-NPs to C6 glioma cells. The cells were incubated with the indicated concentrations of CuO-NPs or CuO-Fe-NPs in IB-BSA for 30 min at 37 °C before the cellular LDH activity (a), the cellular copper content (b) and the cellular iron content (c) were determined. The data shown represent means ± SD of values obtained in three independent experiments. Hashes indicate the significance of differences of data obtained from cells that had been treated with CuO-NPs and CuO-Fe-NPs (#p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001; paired t test). d Correlation of the individual values of cellular LDH activity from three independent experiments with the respective specific cellular copper contents determined for cells that had been treated with either CuO-NPs or CuO-Fe-NPs
