(a) to (d) Determination of Cr content in tissues and feces by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. (□) Cr(VI) content in tissues and feces; () Cr(III) content in tissues and feces. Cr(III) content was detected via sodium hydroxide precipitation. (e) TEM images of hepatic tissue of mice and EDX data analysis. Arrows show accumulations of Cr particles. The particles are located on the cell membrane in Cr(VI) group, and in the cytoplasmic matrix and near the cell nucleus in Cr(VI) + LZU-D2 mice. Scale bars (from left to right in each row) are 10 μm and 2 μm. All images were taken at 150 kV.
