Schematic illustration for the preparation of resveratrol loaded nanoparticles. Hydrophilic regions for both Vitamin E TPGS and Pluronic F127 are represented by aqua blue and form the outside layer of the nanoparticle. The hydrophobic regions of Vitamin E TPGS and Pluronic F127 are coloured yellow and black, respectively and form the inner core. Resveratrol is encapsulated in the inner core and is illustrated by a brick colour. Chemical structures of D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (Vitamin E TPGS), Pluronic F127 (x is 100 and y is 65) and trans-Resveratrol are shown.
