Evaluation of Dietary Curcumin Nanospheres in a Weaned Piglet Model

Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound present in turmeric with extensive uses in cooking foods and biomedical applications. However, due to its hydrophobic nature, it is poorly soluble in water and its bioavailability is very low on oral administration in organisms. In this study, we investigated the...

Evaluation of Dietary Curcumin Nanospheres in a Weaned Piglet Model
description Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound present in turmeric with extensive uses in cooking foods and biomedical applications.
