Figure 1. Characterization of 5-FU-loaded PLGA pellets.

Figure 1

(A) Photo of 5-FU-loaded PLGA pellet; (B) Cumulative 5-FU release profiles of 5-FU-loaded pellets (n = 5) containing different percentages (30% (3 mg), 40% (4 mg) and 50% (5 mg) w/w) of 5-FU. The average percent cumulative release from pellets loaded with 40% 5-FU and 50% 5-FU was increasingly and significantly higher than from pellets loaded with 30% 5-FU; p < 0.05 as determined using a linear mixed-effect model. ** indicates differences from 30% 5-FU-loaded pellets were statistically significant. † indicates differences from 40% 5-FU-loaded pellets were statistically significant.
