Objective: Effects of cholesterol oxides (Ch-Ox) on plasma prostacyclin (PGI 2) and endothelin (ET) levels of rats in different selenium (Se) status were investigated. Methods: Weaning male Wistar rats were fed Se deficient diet (containing Se 0.038 mg/kg) and stock diet (Se 0.326 mg/kg, control group) respectively, for 13 weeks. One of Ch-Ox, cholestane-3 beta, 5 alpha, 6 beta-triol (3-triol) was injected into the rats through tail vein.24 h after treatment, the plasma PGI 2, thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2) and ET of animals were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results: Blood Se content, glutathione peroxidase activity and plasma PGI 2 levels of Se deficient rats were significantly lower than that of the control group (P

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Formononetin (FMN) inclusion compound liposome and evaluate its quality. METHODS: FMN inclusion compound liposome was prepared by film dispersion method. The morphology, particle size, Zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release properties were studied. RESULTS: The particle size, Zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency of prepared FMN inclusion compound liposome were (255. 34 ± 12. 87) nm, (25. 32 ± 3. 51) mV, (81. 63 ± 0. 79)％, respectively (n=3). The 24 h accumulative release rate of prepared FMN inclusion compound liposome was 56. 12％. CONCLUSIONS: FMN inclusion compound liposome with good sustained-release effect is prepared successfully and in line with related quality standard.
