Simvastatin-Loaded Nanomicelles Enhance the Osteogenic Effect of Simvastatin

Figure 2

The characteristics of simvastatin-loaded nanomicelles. (a) The particle size of simvastatin-loaded nanomicelles was measured using a Zetasizer instrument. (b) Simvastatin-loaded nanomicelle morphology was observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). (c) The in vitro cumulative release profiles of simvastatin from simvastatin-loaded nanomicelles using human serum albumin as dissolution medium by a dynamic dialysis method. The simvastatin concentration was measured via the HPLC method at a UV absorbance of 238 nm. The results are the mean values of three independent measurements (±SD).
