Effects of subchronic NP exposure for 180 days on the spleen tissues of SD male rats. A Alteration in body weight of rats exposed to NP for 180 days (n = 8). B Comparisons of organ weights and organ coefficients (n = 8). C HE staining of spleen tissues and quantitative analysis of HE staining (n = 9) [HE × 100, relative area of spleen white pulp, relative area of splenic lymph node, number of spleen nodules, relative area of marginal zone (mm2) = relative area of white pulp (mm2)-area of lymph node (mm2)]. D Transmission electron microscope images of rat spleen tissues after subchronic exposure to NP for 180 days. Data were presented as the mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, avs. control group, P < 0.05; bvs. low NP group, P < 0.05; cvs. middle NP group, P < 0.05; dvs. high NP group, P < 0.05
