Incorporation of dietary phospholipids into lymph chylomicrons was studied in rats fed corn oil containing either radioactive lecithin or lysolecithin. The specific activity of lecithin-s2P in chylomicrons relative to that in the oil increased directly with the amount of lecithin fed, whereas the lecithin content of chylomicrons was constant. About 40% of the phospholipid in chylomicrons was de...

introduction : the encapsulation of nutraceuticals in lipid based carriers, such as liposomes, can lead to increasing of bio-active ingredients bioavailability and controlled release, maintaining their stability in different environmental conditions and increasing solubility of hydrophobic active ingredients in aqueous conditions. food grade liposomes are being increasingly used in food industr...

Current approaches to encapsulate and deliver therapeutic compounds have focused on developing liposomal and biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), resulting in clinically approved therapeutics such as Doxil/Caelyx and Genexol-PM, respectively. Our group recently reported the development of biodegradable core-shell NP systems that combined the beneficial properties of liposomal and polyme...

The inclusion of intact phospholipids in the diet is essential during larval development and can improve culture performance of many fish species. The effects of supplementation of dietary phospholipid from marine (krill) or plant (soy lecithin) sources were investigated in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. First feeding fry were fed diets containing either krill oil or soybean lecithin supplying p...

use of the growth indices is a method to assessment of intercropping efficiency. in order to evaluation growth indices of soybean, sweet basil and borage in intercropping with different ratios, an experiment base on randomized complete block design was conducted with 9 treatments and 3 replications at north khorasan in 2011. treatments were consisted of the plants pure culture, replacement seri...
