Effects of total lipid concentration on properties of SLNs and NLCs.

Lipid(s)	Lipid Concentration Changes	Results	Reference
Softisan® 100	10–40 mg/mL	Increase in PS (~140–210 nm)	[36]
Tripalmitin, Phosal® 53MCT	20–80 mg/mL	From 20–60 mg/mL: PS (~135–185 nm), PDI (~0.2, no change), EE (81.1–93.2%), and DL (9.20–10.43%) From 60–80 mg/mL: significant increases in PS (to ~235 nm) and PDI (to ~ 0.47), negligible changes in EE and DL	[76]
