Characterization of Nanoparticles. (A) TEM images of SiO2 (i) and LMC (ii). (B) Distribution of particle size on SiO2 and LMC in PBS (pH 7.2). (C) Zeta potential of MC and LMC in PBS (pH 7.2). (D) Lactoferrin content in LMC. (E) Elemental distribution energy spectrum of MC. (F) The DSC patterns of LMC, LMC-RES, PM-LMC-RES and RES. (G) The PXRD analysis of LMC, LMC-RES, PM-LMC-RES and RES. (H) Drug release profiles of MC-RES, LMC-RES and RES at pH 7.2. (I) Drug release profiles of MC-RES, LMC-RES and RES at pH 5.4. (J) The plasma concentration-time curve of MC-RES, LMC-RES, and RES. (K and L) Hemolysis test of MC and LMC. All data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3).
