New breads fortified with two different forms of grape by-products, namely dried powdered skins (PGP) and freeze-dried extract therefrom (EGP), were characterised and their protective effect against hypercholesterolaemia in rats was studied. The phenolic compound profiles of supplemented breads were

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the most prevalent liver disorders in Western countries, is characterized by hepatic accumulation of triglycerides. Bile acids have long been known to affect triglyceride homeostasis through a not completely understood mechanism. To analyse the

Elevated red blood cell (RBC) aggregation increases low-shear blood viscosity and is closely related to several pathophysiological diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and hereditary chronic hemolytic conditions. Non-ionic linear polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and Pluronic
Self-assembled amphiphilic N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-chitosan-cholic acid (DHP-CS-CHO) micelle was prepared as a carrier for paclitaxel. DHP-CS-CHO was synthesized by grafted small molecules cholic acid and glycidol onto primary amine group of chitosan, respectively. The DHP-CS-CHO formed uniform micelles (size=212.4±3.1 nm) with a
