Abstract
The use of chemically modified nanocomposites for atherosclerotic plaques can open up new opportunities for studying their effect on changing the structure of the plaque itself. It was shown on the model of the greater omentum of two groups of experimental animals (rats n = 30), which were implanted with Fe@C NPs nanocomposites of 10–30 Nm size into the omentum area. Group 1 (n = 15) consisted of animals that were implanted with chemically modified Fe@C NPs nanocomposites and control group 2 (n = 15) was with non-modified Fe@C NPs nanocomposites. After 1, 2 and 3 weeks we conducted the morphological study of changes in the structure of the omentum using two dyes (Nile Blue and Sudan III), which are specific for adipose tissue. Chemically modified nanocomposites have demonstrated, in contrast to non-modified nanoparticles, to cause morphological changes in the structure of the greater omentum accompanied by the probable release of a similar antiatherogenic factor.
