title: Distribution and elimination of polymethyl methacrylate nanoparticles after peroral administration to rats.
abstract: Polymethyl [1-14C]methacrylate nanoparticles were administered orally to bile cannulated rats. Ten to fifteen percent of the administered radioactivity was absorbed and found in the bile and urine. Within 48 h, 94-97% of the absorbed radioactivity had been eliminated from the body. After 8 d, the highest residual radioactivity was found in the bone marrow, fatty renal tissue, stomach, liver, and lymph nodes.
