Abstract:The aim of the present study was the examination of the impact of -sitosterol andgentisic acid on the characteristics of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DPPC) liposomal particles: (a) bilayer permeability (fluorescence spectroscopy),(b) particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential (photon correlationspectroscopy) and (c) thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry). -sitosterol induced the increase of liposomal bilayer rigidity, due to rearranging ofthe phospholipid chains… Show more
