Oxidative protein damage assessment in M0 dTHP-1 macrophages exposed to different carbon-based NMs for 24 h, measured by protein carbonylation quantification. Each bar denotes the mean ± SD from three independent experiments (n = 3). “*” indicates a statistically significant difference from the control group by the one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test with p < 0.05.
