Evidences in the last years have showed the effects of oleic acid (OA) in human health and
disease. Olive oil, rich in oleic acid, is supposed to present modulatory effects in a wide …

Maintenance of body temperature is achieved partly by modulating lipolysis by a network of
complex regulatory mechanisms. Lipolysis is an integral part of the glycerolipid/free fatty …

Lung injury especially acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be triggered by
diverse stimuli, including fatty acids and microbes. ARDS affects thousands of people …

In the current study, the transdermal route has been investigated to deliver the poorly
bioavailable drug; curcumin into the systemic circulation, aiming to target both superficial …

In this pilot study, ethosomes and transethosomes were investigated as potential delivery
systems for cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), whose deficiency has been correlated to many …

A high level of circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) is known to be an important trigger for

The study was aimed at evaluating whether the ocular hypotensive effect of melatonin (MEL)
was enhanced by its encapsulation in cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (cSLN), as well as at …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and dietary
habits represent a major risk factor for dyslipidemia; a hallmark of CVD. Saturated fatty acids …

A complex formed by human α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and oleic acid (OA), named HAMLET, has
been shown to have an apoptotic activity leading to the selective death of tumor cells. In …

The cytotoxicity and physical properties of various submicron O/W emulsions and solid lipid
nanoparticles for dermal applications were investigated. Droplet size and zetapotential of …
