Abstract

This research was designed to investigate the effects of Bassica oleracea L. (BO) fractions on the membrane fluidity of the liposomal phospholipid membranes. The sample BO was extracted and fractionated to six different types. methanol(BOM), hexane(BOMH). ethylether(BOMEE), etylacetate(BOMEA), butanol(BOMB) and aqueous(BOMA) fractions. The fluidity of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine(DPPC) liposomal membranes incorporated with BO fraction was measured by means of high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). (omitted)
