Cellular effects of particles on Caco-2 (left), HepG2 (middle) and HepaRG cells (right). A MTT Assay of increasing concentrations of particles after 24 h incubation time. 0.01% Triton X-100 was used as positive control. B Cellular impedance measurements using xCELLigence® system. Cell indices normalized to cell culture medium are shown over a time of 72 h. 50 μg/mL ZnO nanoparticles served as positive control. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. The significance was calculated by performing one-way ANOVA Dunnett’s test (* = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p ≤ 0.001, n = 3)
