White outbred female rats were exposed intranasally to 50-µL of suspension of lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO NPs) at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL thrice a week during six weeks. A control group of rats was administered deionized water in similar volumes and conditions. The developed intoxication was manifested by altered biochemical and cytochemical parameters, as well as behavioral reactions of animals. Using electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques, we revealed deposition of PbO NPs in the olfactory bulb, but not in basal ganglia, and an increase in the number of axons with damage to the myelin sheath in the tissues of olfactory bulb and basal ganglia, changes in the ultrastructure of mitochondria of neurons in the tissues of olfactory bulb and basal ganglia of the brain, and differences in the mitochondrial profile of neurons in different regions of the rat brain. Our results collectively suggest that the central nervous system may be a target of low-level toxicity of lead oxide nanoparticles.
