  1. % of a specific cell type to the total number of cells containing nanogold particles; st rad, stratum radiatum; st lac mol, stratum lacunosum-moleculare. In the st rad, 36 pictures (7–13 per animal) for untreated and 47 pictures (9–14 per animal) for treated mice were analyzed. In the st lac mol, 51 pictures (8–16 per animal) for untreated and 59 pictures (9–22 per animal) for treated mice were analyzed. n = 4 mice per group
