Poloxamer 407 is a thermoreversible hydrogel frequently used as a carrier for polymer formulations in delayed-absorption drug studies, with limited toxicity in young mice. We gave six 24-month-old C57BL/6nia male mice each a subcutaneous injection of polylactic acid (PLA)/polyglycolic acid (PGA) copolymer biodegradable microparticles mixed with poloxamer 407 at a dose of 1.1 g/kg and 6 g/kg, re...
