Table 2.
Silymarin release rate and the diffusion coefficient values of the compositions (I–X). Each data point represents the mean ± S.D., n = 5, p > 0.05. Repeated-Measures Anova and Pearson correlation tests were performed. Significant differences are marked with * in the table. * show the significance levels in the case of compositions containing SM in suspended or dissolved forms.
