Osmotic shrinkage of giant egg-lecithin vesicles.
Osmotic shrinkage of giant egg-lecithin vesicles was observed by phase-contrast microscopy. The vesicles remained or became spherical when shrinking. Small and thick-walled vesicles formed visible fingers attached to the sphere. The water permeability of the single bilayer was found to be 41 micrometers/s. A variety of observations indicate that osmosis induces a parallel lipid flow between the...

متن کاملLiposomes for Topical Use: A Physico-Chemical Comparison of Vesicles Prepared from Egg or Soy Lecithin
Developments in nanotechnology and in the formulation of liposomal systems provide the opportunity for cosmetic dermatology to design novel delivery systems. Determination of their physico-chemical parameters has importance when developing a nano-delivery system. The present study highlights some technological aspects/characteristics of liposomes formulated from egg or soy lecithins for topical...
متن کاملThe Unsaturated Fatty Acids of Egg Lecithin
The work on liver lecithins by Levene and Ingvaldsen’ and by Levene and Simms,z has shown the existence of lecithins which are distinguished from one another by the nature of their unsaturated fatty acids. There were isolated from liver lecithin, two unsaturated fatty acids, oleic and arachidonic, as well as two saturated acids, palmitic and stearic. Hence on the basis of the present findings i...
متن کاملAlamethicin-mediated fusion of lecithin vesicles.
It was recently shown that alamethicin greatly facilitates the fusion of small, sonicated, lecithin bilayer vesicles. In the present work the details of this fusion process have been followed by monitoring the inner and outer choline methyl signals separately by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It is shown that during the alamethicine-induced fusion some of the antibiotic molecules becom...
