Gene expression at D21 in animals receiving 500 μg NPs. Quantification of mRNA expression of the different genes at D21 by RT-qPCR. Data are expressed as the ratio to HPRT as housekeeping gene. Rats were exposed to 500 μg NPs. *: p < 0.05 vs S-BSA. §: p < 0.05 vs E-BSA. n = 6. Abbreviations are the same as in Table1. Box plots show median and interquartile range (25th and 75th percentiles).
