The development of functional meat products is an innovative trend aiming to meet consumer demand. Microencapsulation a promising alternative ensure probiotic viability, mainly when the wall material resists adverse extrinsic conditions releasing probiotics into intestine. Therefore, Lactobacillus plantarum was encapsulated in Acrycoat S100 by spray drying. encapsulation process analysed using ...

aloe littoralis baker (asphodelaceae family) is a well known plant in southern parts of iran. because of its use in iranian traditional medicine as a wound-healing agent, the present study was carried out to investigate anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities of this plant in wistar rats. a. littoralis raw mucilaginous gel (alrmg) and also two gel formulations prepared from the raw mucil...

The purpose of study is to formulate and evaluate ufasomal gel of dexamethasone. Ufasomal suspension was made by sonication method using different concentrations of Span 80, Span 20 and cholesterol along with 25 mg of drug. Ufasomal gel was formulated by hydration method using carbopol 940. Ufasomal vesicles appeared as spherical and multilamellar under Transmission Electron Microscope. Ufasoma...

OBJECTIVE Gardnerella vaginalis has long been the most common pathogen associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). We aimed to test our hypothesis that symptoms and signs of BV do not necessarily indicate colonization by this organism, and often will not respond to standard metronidazole or clindamycin treatment. METHODS Using a relatively new molecular tool, PCR denaturing gradient gel electro...

Tranilast (TL), an antiallergic agent, has been clinically used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, although its clinical use has been limited by its poor solubility in water, photodegradation and systemic side effects. In this study, we prepared a gel ointment containing TL nanoparticles (TLnano gel ointment), and investigated its usefulness. In addition, we demonstrated the preventive effec...

The skin disposition and metabolism of topically applied ethyl nicotinate (EN) were evaluated in dual agar gel disc-inserted hairless rats, which have two agar gel discs subcutaneously inserted into the abdominal region as drug receptors, and a topical formulation containing EN placed on either side of the gel disc through the skin. Plasma and agar levels of EN and its metabolite, nicotinic aci...

ABSTRACT: Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Allium sativum (garlic) and Curcuma longa (turmeric) have been used as antifungal agents. The main aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of these natural products towards C. albicans and on their pharmacological and toxicity aspects. Thus, agar disc diffusion method was used to study the antifungal activity of...

a suitable emulgel formulation of piroxicam was prepared and its percutaneous permeation was investigated using wistar rat skin and diffusion cell technique. the concentrations of the drug in receptor phase of diffusion cells were measured using hplc method. the effect of three types of penetration enhancers (myrj 52, cineol and transcutol p) with different concentrations on transdermal permeat...

Dietary alteration of the gut microbiome is an important target in the treatment of obesity. Animal and human studies have shown bidirectional weight modulation based on the probiotic formulation used. In this study, we systematically reviewed the literature and performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics on body weight, body mass index (BMI) and fat ...
