The phase transition of dipalmitoyl lecithin, measured by thermal analysis, was eliminated by the plant sterol, sitosterol, and by the derivatives steryl glucoside and acylated steryl glucoside, which were isolated from soybean lipids.When digitonin was added to dipalmitoyl lecithin-sterol mixtures, in amounts equimolar to sterol, the phase transition of the phospholipid was revealed presumably...

ketorolac tromethamine (kt) containing microemulsion-based gels (mbgs) have been formulated, based on the previous phase diagram studies, using a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant (soybean lecithin; epikuron 200) and oil (isopropyl myristate; ipm) and the effect of formulation variables on the release profile of the drug from mbgs through intact guinea pig skin and various artificial membr...

Nanoemulsions are drug delivery systems that may increase the penetration of lipophilic compounds through the skin, enhancing their topical effect. Chalcones are compounds of low water solubility that have been described as promising molecules for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In this context, the aim of this work was to optimize the development of a nanoemulsion containing a s...

The present study was performed to determine whether the degree of lecithin hydrophobicity regulates bile metastability and, therefore, affects the process of cholesterol crystallization. Supersaturated model bile (MB) solutions were prepared with an identical composition on a molar basis (taurocholate/lecithin/cholesterol, 73:19.5:7.5; total lipid concentration 9 g/dl) except for the lecithin ...

The specific purpose of this study was to determine the effect optimal levels soybean lecithin in sperm extenders on motility and abnormalities sheep spermatozoa after undergoing freezing process. This research conducted experimentally a laboratory with completely randomized design (CRD) five treatments three replications. tested were Tris (L) diluent, consisting of: L0 = 0% + 95% diluent 5% gl...

This scientific article presents the results of ultrasound on changes in yield phospholipids, lecithin, and cephalin soybean oil depending intensity hydration process consumption hydrated solution, conventional mixing, exposure, as well 20-22 Due to use high-frequency amount non-hydratable phospholipids was reduced.

Background: Ram sperm have a higher polyunsaturated fatty acids and a lower cholesterol/phospholipid ratio than other species which renders the sperm much more vulnerable to oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress can affects the integrity of cells at both the structural and sub structural levels. Therefore, a suitable antioxidant may prevent cryo-injuries and...

Soybean lecithin transphosphatidylated phosphatidylserine (SB-tPS) was prepared from soybean lecithin and L-serine by a transphosphatidylation reaction, and its effect on age-related memory impairment was evaluated in rats by the Morris water maze test. Continuous oral administration of SB-tPS (60 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) for 60 d) to male aged rats (24-25 mo) significantly improved performance in t...

Ketorolac tromethamine (KT) containing microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) have been formulated, based on the previous phase diagram studies, using a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant (soybean lecithin; Epikuron 200) and oil (isopropyl myristate; IPM) and the effect of formulation variables on the release profile of the drug from MBGs through intact guinea pig skin and various artificial membr...

A two phases process consisting of a soya lecithin (SL)-based soil washing process followed by the photocatalytic treatment of resulting effluents was developed and applied at the laboratory scale in the remediation of an actual-site soil historically contaminated by 0.65 g/kg of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Triton X-100 (TX) was employed in the same process as a control surfactant. SL and...
