Moayyedi S Mashinchian O Dinarvand R 2016 In the field of drug delivery, long circulating nanocarriers in the blood have many advantages such as targeted drug delivery and sustained release. Based on our current knowledge, evaluation of the effect of long circulating nanocarriers in the blood stream on osmolarity of plasma has not been reported before. In this study, osmotic pressure developed by some commercially available nanocarriers was estimated based on Van't Hoff equation. It is noteworthy that theoretically, nanocarriers do not have any significant effect on osmolarity of plasma. However, it is worth being evaluated experimentally in order to be taken into account in future studies. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/150940 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1186/s40199-016-0146-9 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/27001042 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Daru : journal of Faculty of Pharmacy, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. - 2016 Drug delivery Nanocarriers Osmotic pressure Drug Carriers Nanostructures Osmotic Pressure Plasma Osmolarity: A hidden factor in Nanotoxicology. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
