Abstract
High amounts of micronized C-60 have been injected intraperitoneally i nto Swiss mice. Until the fourteenth day, they were still alive withou t any behaviour trouble. C-60 was well absorbed, and found localized i n spleen and liver. Inside the liver, C-60 was detected in Kupffer cel ls and hepatocytes. But the main result is the induced hypertrophy of the perisinusoidal cells, where C-60 preferentially accumulates.
