Figure 3From: Role of surface charge and oxidative stress in cytotoxicity of organic monolayer-coated silicon nanoparticles towards macrophage NR8383 cellsInduction of intracellular ROS production (measured using the DCFH-DA assay) in NR8383 (A) and Caco-2 (B) cells after 24 hours exposure to increasing concentrations of Si NP-NH 2 (black triangle), Si NP-N 3 (black square) and Si NP-COOH (black dot). Error bars show standard error of mean (n = 3). The asterisk (*) sign signifies P < 0.05.Back to article page
