BIOL311 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Liposome, Dispersity, Lecithin
Document Summary
Liposomes, which use a form nanotechnology science, also impressively and harmoniously, use the generalized nature of the liposomes themselves to increase the efficacy, bioavailability, absorption, and delivery of these certain entrapped dietary and nutritional supplements. The generalized nature and makeup of phospholipid composed liposomes adroitly complement the natural lining of nearly every cell within the human body. This therefore creates a natural bond and or affinity for the liposomes to deliver their onboard payload to the cells. The quality of rawlipid used in the preparation and manufacturing of the liposomes therefore precisely co- relates to this natural congruency between the liposomes and the cells of the human body. Formation of liposomes and nanoliposomes is not a spontaneous process. Lipid vesicles are formed when phospholipids such as lecithin are placed in water and consequently form one bilayer or a series of bilayers, each separated by water molecules, once enough energy is supplied. Liposomes can be created by sonicating phospholipids in water.
