Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to investigate in vivo biological effects of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles surface coated with citrate and encapsulated in stealth magnetoliposome (MLPEG). The investigation includes blood and peritoneum cytometry and micronucleus assay, after exposing the animals to the AC magnetic field.
