Nanoemulsion is equally phagocytosed by both male and female macrophages. (a) Nanoemulsion is taken up by 47–52% of macrophages regardless of sex or treatment. DF-NE n = 5 (male), 4 (female); and CXB-NE n = 6 (male), 6 (female). (b–d) CD68+ macrophage in male sciatic exhibit internalized nanoemulsion DiR signal (d), as do infiltrating macrophages in the injured female sciatic nerve (e–g) with detectable DiR nanoemulsion (g).
