F. Moussa et al., EARLY EFFECTS OF C-60 ADMINISTRATION IN SWISS MICE - A PRELIMINARY ACCOUNT FOR IN-VIVO C-60 TOXICITY, Fullerene science and technology, 4(1), 1996, pp. 21-29
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.
