In this study, biocellulose (BC) membranes have been investigated as caffeine topical delivery systems, for the potential treatment of cellulite. BC-caffeine membranes were prepared by a simple approach and the permeation of caffeine through human epidermis, from BC or from conventional formulation systems (solution and gel), was compared in vitro to assess their therapeutic applicability. Diffusion studies wit...
Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were explored as novel nanostructured transdermal delivery systems for diclofenac sodium salt (a typical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Diclofenac sodium salt loaded BC membranes were prepared through a simple methodology, using glycerol as plasticizer, and characterized in terms of structure, morphology and swelling behavior. The membranes were very homogeneous, quite...
Carcass composition and meat quality traits were evaluated in 55 suckling kids (27 males and 28 females) from Serrana (S), Bravia (B) and Serrana x Bravia (SxB) crossbred genotypes. Kids were slaughtered at 8-11 kg of live weight according to "Cabrito de Barroso-PGF" specifications and carcasses' left sides were totally dissected. Dressing percentage (based on ELW) did not vary between genotypes and sexes. Geno...
