The use of fetal bovine serum as delivery vehicle to improve the uptake and stability of lycopene in cell culture studies
19 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) has commonly been used to deliver carotenoids to cells but the use of THF is associated with cytotoxicity and low uptake efficiency of carotenoids. Here, we used fetal bovine serum (FBS) as the delivery vehicle for lycopene in comparison with THF, THF containing 0.0025 % butylated hydroxytoluene (THF/BHT), methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (M-beta-CD) and micelles in two human prostate cancer cell...
