The quantitative assay of cellular uptake of Cur and Gal-BSA-Cur NPs in Caco-2 cells using HPLC.
Notes: The curcumin concentration was detected by HPLC. ***P <0.001 compared with Gal-BSA-Cur NPs. The results were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3).
Abbreviations: Cur, curcumin; Gal-BSA-Cur NPs, curcumin-loaded galactosylated BSA nanoparticles; HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography.
