Brain distribution of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs). As a measurement of CeONP content, brain cerium concentrations were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after a single injection of CeONP at the concentrations shown (Cerium Labs, Austin, TX). Even animals unexposed to CeONP have a basal level of cerium in the brain, as observed in saline-citrate treated controls. Note the dose-dependent increase in brain cerium with increasing concentration of CeONP. *Significant from saline, p < 0.01.
