Specific absorption rates (SARs) of CMNPs and MLs at 0.6 mg/mL CMNP equivalent 1.
| Sample 2 | AMF 3 | Laser | AMF + Laser |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMNPs | 21.20 ± 0.14 | 28.06 ± 0.21 * | 42.13 ± 0.58 *,# |
| MLs | 21.08 ± 0.16 | 28.12 ± 0.17 * | 42.04 ± 0.48 *,# |
1 SAR = (C/m) (ΔT/Δt), where C is the specific heat capacity of water, ΔT/Δt is the slope of the temperature vs. time curve, m is the concentration of CMNPs used. 2 CMNPs: citric-acid-coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles; MLs: magnetic liposomes. 3 AMF: alternating magnetic field; * p < 0.05 compared with AMF; # p < 0.05 compared with Laser.
