Figure 5

Ultrastructure of kidney in male mice caused by intragastric administration of TiO 2 NPs for 90 consecutive days. (a) Control, (b) 2.5 mg/kg TiO2 NPs, (c) 5 mg/kg TiO2 NPs, (d) 10 mg/kg TiO2 NPs. Yellow arrows indicate nucleus shrinkage, chromatin marginalization, green arrows indicate mitochondria swelling, and red arrows show presence of TiO2 NPs. Arrow A spot is a representative cell that not engulfed the TiO2 NPs, while arrow B spot denotes a representative cell that loaded with TiO2 NPs. The right panels show the corresponding Raman spectra identifying the specific peaks at about 148 cm-1.
