Description

<p>Gold nanorods were mixed in feed and fed to zebrafish. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of gold ions, which desorbed from whole body sections, indicated the distribution of the nanorods in the living bodies. Soon after the feeding, the IMS indicated strong gold ion signals (m/z 197) at around the digestive organs. At 12 h after feeding, the signals were additionally found in the liver. At 24 h after feeding, the IMS of gold ions showed the signals in a few spots. Mass spectrometry of organs removed from the bodies indicated that the nanorods were accumulated in the liver and exhausted within 24 h after the feeding. The distribution of the gold nanorods could be traced for at least 24 h in a living body. It was shown that the gold nanorods could be a mass probe having a potential to evaluate risks of nanomaterials for living bodies.</p>
