EGCG intestinal absorption and oral bioavailability enhancement using folic acid-functionalized nanostructured lipid carriers
This work aimed to develop folic acid-functionalized nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) loading epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to increase its oral bioavailability. An active targeting strategy was used and these nanoparticles (NPs) were fully characterized. The NP's effect on Caco-2 cell v...
