Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC): A potential delivery system for bioactive food molecules

TL;DR: In this review, beneficial aspects of NLC are presented and valuable information about ingredients, production methods, structure and characteristics of them provided, and potential applications and disadvantages of N LC as emerging delivery system in food science are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanostructured lipid carriers: Promising drug delivery systems for future clinics.

TL;DR: The understanding of the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC)-based formulations has improved with continuing research recently, and the result has seen an increase in the use of these in the clinical setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems and herbal medicines: a review.

TL;DR: Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems and herbal medicines are reviewed to see if nanostructured systems might be able to potentiate the action of plant extracts, reducing the required dose and side effects, and improving activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of nanotechnology in improving bioavailability and bioactivity of diet-derived phytochemicals.

TL;DR: A review of the commonly used biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles including liposomes, emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, micelles and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in the design of solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers for targeting brain diseases.

TL;DR: In this review, a presentation of the most important brain diseases (brain cancer, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis) is approached, followed by the basic fabrication techniques of SLNs and NLCs.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) in cosmetic and dermatological preparations.

TL;DR: As a novel type of lipid nanoparticles with solid matrix, the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are presented and improvements discussed, for example, increase in loading capacity, physical and chemical long-term stability, triggered release and potentially supersaturated topical formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of the biology of quercetin and related bioflavonoids

TL;DR: The role of flavonoids may transcend their presence in food as mentioned in this paper, however, the amount of quercetin that remains biologically available may not be of sufficient concentration, theoretically, to explain the beneficial effects seen with the Mediterranean diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary flavonoids : Intake, health effects and bioavailability

TL;DR: It is found that human absorption of the quercetin glycosides from onions (52%) is far better than that of the pure aglycone (24%) and might contribute to the antioxidant defences of blood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of gastrointestinal absorption of quercetin by solid lipid nanoparticles.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that SLNs are valuable as an oral delivery carrier to enhance the absorption of a poorly water soluble drug, quercetin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid separation of low molecular weight solutes from liposomes without dilution.

TL;DR: Liposomes can be separated from low molecular weight solutes on minicolumns of Sephadex G-50 made from the barrels of 1- or 5-ml plastic syringes by centrifugation, which has advantages over other methods for separating extraliposomal solutes from liposomes.
