Abstract Associative interactions between folic acid and proteins are well known. This work leverages these interactions to engineer folic acid nanoparticles for controlled release of insulin during diabetes therapy. The insulin-loaded folic acid nanoformulation is synthesized during this study and more than 70% protein loading with less than 10% insulin loss have been maintained during the synthesis process. The folic acid nanoparticles of 50–150 nm size are further characterized in the...

Aging is the progressive deterioration of physiological functions in organisms. Folic acid (FA) can be used as antiaging. The objective of this research is the feasibility of topical delivery of FA using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to offer sustained antioxidant and antiaging effects . FA NLCS were prepared by hot high pressure homogenization. More
