In this study, cholesterol (CH), β-sitosterol (SI), and stigmasterol (ST) were explored to improve the stability of retinol in the liposome bilayer. Retinol was incorporated into liposomes composed of soybean-derived L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 10% sterol (w/w), which were prepared as multilamellar vesicles. Under all conditions, the efficiency of retinol incorporation into liposomes was higher than 99%, and the average particle size of liposomes was similar to that of PC alone. Liposomes were stored at 4 and 25 °C, with and without light, respectively, for 10 days. It was found that during the storage, CH and SI were effective in stabilizing the retinol in liposomes. These results indicate that an appropriate phytosterol could improve the stability of retinol in liposomes.
在本研究中,对胆固醇(CH)、β-谷甾醇(SI)和豆甾醇(ST)进行了探索,以提高视黄醇在脂质体双层中的稳定性。将视黄醇掺入由大豆来源的L-α-磷脂酰胆碱(PC)和10%甾醇(w/w)组成的脂质体中,制备成多层囊泡。在所有条件下,视黄醇掺入脂质体的效率均高于99%,且脂质体的平均粒径与单独的PC相似。脂质体分别在4℃和25℃下储存,有光照和无光照条件下各储存10天。结果发现,在储存过程中,CH和SI对视黄醇在脂质体中的稳定性有显著作用。这些结果表明,适当的植物甾醇可以提高视黄醇在脂质体中的稳定性。
